#Censorship and Books

It seems that PayPayl has decided to impose some censorship rules on e-books. They want to ban books that contain topics such as rape, bestiality, incest and "underage subjects".

Some people have become very perturbed about the "censorship". I'm no fan of the banned topics nor would it ever cross my mind to even think about them but we all know that they appeal to a certain segment of society. To me those topics are disgusting.

I am aware that they appeal to some people. Constitutionally, I guess that people are allowed to do or read anything in private. However, I do understand that PayPal and Google do not want to be associated with some activities. There are plenty of companies that use pornography to make money and that is their choice.

I believe that it is Google and Paypal's choice to ban some topics from their store. They also must have the constitutional right to stand for their principles.

For those people who are interested in rape, bestiality, incest and "underage subjects", I am sure that you can find plenty of sources of material to satisfy your needs. Shop there. Just be sure that no children were exploited.
