Amazon Blocks Ad for Book Investigating Black Lives Matter

Amazon this week blocked an advertisement for a new book on Black Lives Matter leaders, claiming content that "Revolves around controversial or highly debated social topics is not permitted."

>>> Update: Amazon notified The Heritage Foundation on Thursday morning that it had reversed its action, saying: "Our policies were inaccurately enforced, and the book is now being advertised. We are providing training to ensure our teams are clear on our policies." The Daily Signal is preparing a follow-up report.

The Heritage Foundation, which attempted to buy the ad for Gonzalez's book, said Wednesday that Amazon, the nation's largest retailer, had blocked the ad from its website.

Amazon sent a message to Heritage on Tuesday stating that the ad for Gonzalez's book "No longer complies with our current Creative Acceptance Policies."

Gonzalez said he wrote the book to answer questions about the Black Lives Matter movement.

"I wrote this book because most of the press refused to cover the important questions about the people and organizations behind Black Lives Matter," Gonzalez said in a statement.

Amazon continues to sell his new book on Black Lives Matter while blocking advertising for it.
