Amazon Censorship on Book Reviews

Dystopia.? Censorship? Bad AI?

My audiobook review of Russian Roulette on Audible (an Amazon company) was the top rated "Most Helpful" review. The "Most Helpful" review rating was 65 of 76 as of yesterday, ranking it at the top of the reviews for this audiobook.

Then today, Audible (an Amazon company) just deleted the top "Most Helpful" review.

I found a copy in an online cache, and reposted it here:

Russian Roulette Book Review: Great Book Yet Total Political Incompetence- Cyberspace Situational Awareness | - Cyberspace Situational Awareness

I contacted Audible (an Amazon company) and they were not helpful. They said it as "a glitch" but I think the problem is (1) that their AI is rogue or bad or (2) they are engaging in blatant censorship.

This is the second time one of my reviews on Audible was censored.

The first time, my review of Ready Player One was deleted (before it was posted).

Today, my review of Russian Roulette, the top "Most Helpful" (top rated) review on Audible was deleted. Scary dystopian stuff!

Censorship is real and it is truly scary!
