On Thursday, Heritage won its appeal and was notified that the censoring was a result of \u201chuman error.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Amazon claims that the book \u201cno longer complies with our current Creative Acceptance Policies. Specifically for the following reasons: Your ad contains books or content that is not allowed. Content that revolves around controversial or highly debated social topics is not permitted. Please remove this content from your ad.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The book was written by Heritage Senior Fellow Mike Gonzalez and released on September 7. Gonzalez is also the author of the 2020 book \u201cThe Plot to Change America: How Identity Politics is Dividing the Land of the Free.\u201d According to Heritage, the book \u201cexamined how leftists obsessed with identity politics and racial divisions are undermining the American experiment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Gonzalez condemned Amazon for allegedly limiting the book\u2019s reach and questioned whether books written by the New York Times\u2019 \u201c1619 Project\u201d author Nikole Hannah Jones or \u201canti-racist\u201d scholar Ibram X. Kendi were subjected to the same standards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI wrote this book because most of the press refused to cover the important questions about the people and organizations behind Black Lives Matter. Now, Amazon is trying to limit how many Americans read this book,\u201d Gonzalez said. \u201cThe American people deserve answers to those questions, especially after the 630 or more riots that left our cities burning, businesses destroyed and billions in damage, and Americans dead.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI have to wonder if Nikole Hannah Jones\u2019 and Ibram X. Kendi\u2019s books \u2014 which also sell in the \u2018Black and African American History\u2019 category, where my book often outranked them in the past week \u2014 face similar constraints,\u201d Gonzalez continued.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Heritage concluded that whether this outcome was the result of an algorithm or human action, \u201cthe outcome is censorship.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Heritage Foundation and its news arm The Daily Signal have fallen victim to big tech censorship in the past. In 2020, one of the foundation\u2019s YouTube videos on gender dysphoria was censored. In 2019, YouTube removed a similar video from The Daily Signal\u2019s channel.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In early 2019, Heritage President Kay Coles James was invited to sit on Google\u2019s AI board, only for the tech giant to dissolve the board \u201cafter an outcry from company employees that James, a conservative, was asked to be on the board.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>James called on conservatives to take action against \u201cBig Tech censorship.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe examples of Big Tech censorship are inescapable and irrefutable. Sometimes they are brazen and outright, other times they are dressed up in vague platitudes about \u2018objectionable content.\u2019 But the outcome is still the same \u2014 conservative voices are deemed \u2018unacceptable\u2019 and are silenced. This cannot continue,\u201d James said. \u201cThe time for action is now. Conservatives&nbsp; and all those concerned about Big Tech censorship need to come together on solutions that hold Big Tech accountable while preventing even more power from going into the hands of the corporate-government nexus.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Related: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/journalist-unverified-on-twitter-after-launching-investigation-into-big-techs-crt-inspired-trainings\"><b>Journalist Unverified On Twitter After Launching Investigation Into Big Tech\u2019s CRT-Inspired Trainings&nbsp;<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
