[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 4448570, member: 8267"]We have no way of knowing what provoked Amazon to "censor" this particular book, as their decisions are completely opaque. It could easily be some bot-driven glitch.

I believe it is a leap too far to blame some "woke" conspiracy. However, some genuine examples of banning books have lately come from Republican controlled legislatures.
