"Amazon frightened many conservative authors this week in a mass deletion of reviews.
Some authors lost almost 100 reviews on their published works.
Others lost all the reviews they had ever written on Amazon.
Some lost both...
"I hate that absolutism, with no way of finding out what happened," said a conservative author who chose to remain anonymous for fear of more reprisals. "I lost all my reviews with no explanation and then they were reinstated after I complained."
Some are questioning if it was a test run for more censorship to come.
"This does happen from time to time," said Fontaine.
"But this is too much of a coincidence." CLFA members feel targeted by Amazon. Declan Finn, author of several series, including a popular Catholic spy thriller, reported big losses. "
Yes, I did lose reviews, both those on my novels and those on books I've published.
I went from 315 to 238 in the blink of an eye," he told PJM...
While I generally try not to be paranoid about political targeting, it's awfully suspicious that CLFA members lost reviews from their novels, or had all of their reviews purged from their profiles."
