The Biden administration has been pressuring Amazon to address what it perceives as problematic books for sale on the platform. White House officials, including Andrew Slavitt, have been reported to have contacted Amazon regarding the 'high levels of propaganda and misinformation and disinformation' on the site. This has led to accusations of censorship and electronic book burning by critics, including Del Bigtree and Dr. Drew. The issue has sparked a broader debate about the role of Big Tech in regulating content and the accusations of the left mirroring the actions they criticize the right for.
