Der Hashtag #amazonfail wurde \u00fcber Nacht zum tending topic auf twitter<\/a>. Was ist da los?<\/p>\n

Amazon.com scheint eine neue policy zu haben, der zufolge vorgeblich nicht jugendgerechte Titel ihr Verkaufs- und Suchranking verlieren und nicht mehr in Topsellerlisten und der Suche auftauchen. Dies betrifft u.a. Titel zu Homosexualit\u00e4t. Auf die Anfrage eines Autoren, der das veschwinden von hunderten schwulesbischen B\u00fcchern bermekt hat, antwortete eine Person beim Amazon.com:<\/p>\n

In consideration of our entire customer base, we exclude \u201cadult\u201d material from appearing in some searches and best seller lists. Since these lists are generated using sales ranks, adult materials must also be excluded from that feature.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Eben habe ich auf amazon.com nach \u201cHomosexuality\u201d gesucht<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cA Parent\u2019s Guide to Preventing Homosexuality\u201d von Joseph Nicolosi und Linda Ames Nicolosi war das Top-Ergebnis, und die weiteren B\u00fccher in der Liste zielen in eine \u00e4hnliche Richtung: Titel wie \u201cYou don\u2019t have to be gay\u201d und viel Kirchen- und Christenliteratur zum Thema.<\/p>\n

Neben LGBT-B\u00fcchern sind auch femininistische und women\u2019s health books, Titel wie \u201cWetlands\u201d von Charlotte Roche oder die Queer Theory Einf\u00fchrung von Annamarie Jagose betroffen (vgl. die Liste der de-ranked B\u00fccher<\/a>). Nachfotografieb\u00e4nde dagegen nicht.<\/p>\n

Irgendetwas ist da im Argen mit dem Amazon Rank<\/a>. Ich bin mir aber sicher, wenn die Reaktion im Netz so heftig weiter geht, wie es am Ostersonntag in den USA begonnen hat, die Verk\u00e4ufe bei Amazon einen Knick bekommen, viele Leute in ihren Blogs und auf twitter \u00fcber das Thema schreiben, der Facebook-Gruppe beitreten<\/a> und sich andere coole Aktionen einfallen lassen, k\u00f6nnte der Wahnsinn gestoppt werden. Amazon.com muss reagieren.<\/p>\n

Edit: Amazon hat mittlerweile verlauten lassen<\/a>, dass es sich um eine \u201cPanne\u201d im System (\u201dglitch\u201d, daher das twitter hashtag #glitchmyass<\/a>) handele. Eine gute Erkl\u00e4rung gab es m.E. aber noch nicht.<\/p>\n
