Amazon bane figures de anime por "promover exploração infantil"
Um varejista relatou que várias figuras de garotas de anime foram removidas de sua loja hospedada na Amazon, com comunicações da empresa afirmando que foram removidas por promover a exploração infantil.
Em 29 de fevereiro, depois que um usuário do Twitter fez a pergunta “Quem fez isso?” em resposta a relatórios recentes de fãs da SEGA que levaram à remoção da capacidade de ver a calcinha de Hatsune Miku em Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix Switch (que não era um caso de censura, mas sim corrigindo um erro, pois sua calcinha não é visível em outros jogos), o proprietário da loja de Chuck's Anime, Chuck Gaffney, especulou que "pode ser a mesma coisa que eu tenho notado na Amazon".
Might be the same asshats I've been noticing on Amazon.Out of nowhere a few months ago,old Good Smile Company & other official Miku listings from my store(& all sellers) got removed from Amazon; wrongfully claiming it was CP. A suspicious mass flagging of all anime products also— Chuck Gaffney (@princetrunks) February 29, 2020
Segundo Gaffney, em vez de remover os itens de seu inventário, a Amazon o pressionou a "excluí-los manualmente ou excluir minha conta".
Even worse is that Amazon wouldn't remove the listings from my seller inventory & would threaten me to manually delete them or delete my account. Listing that have been sold out for 5+ years. Been meaning to get back to selling like I used to; used to sell a ton of figma & GSC.— Chuck Gaffney (@princetrunks) February 29, 2020
Gaffney então forneceu e-mails enviados a ele pela Amazon, mostrando que eles haviam removido vários números, todos completamente não sexuais, por violar sua proibição de itens que “promovam a exploração infantil ou retratam crianças ou personagens semelhantes a crianças de uma maneira sexualmente sugestiva. "
Here's a screenshot of the emails from Amazon. Oldest is from 2015, newest was just back on the 21st. Not too many figures but then again being that I've been dormant in selling for a bit is a sign that bigger sellers got far more than me pic.twitter.com/G4Xk2JPdw3— Chuck Gaffney (@princetrunks) February 29, 2020
The one a week ago that got flagged as CP was one of my oldest listings: Kaitou Tenshi Twin Angels: Aoi Kannazuki PVC Figure 1/8 Scale by Max Factory. Google the figure and the Amazon listing is still there; visit the lint to see they pulled it. Here's the email in full too pic.twitter.com/RcWzNS8CIG— Chuck Gaffney (@princetrunks) February 29, 2020
Here's the second most recent one, was two figures.. one a tame K-ON figure of all things.— Chuck Gaffney (@princetrunks) February 29, 2020

Especulando no Twitter, Gaffney acredita que as figures podem ter sido o alvo de "alguma cruzada neopuritana ou sabotagem de negócios feita propositadamente".The next one was also a Miku figure...

I feel 4 other smaller sellers; its bad enough when just trying to convince people you are not selling bootlegs is still 2 this day a major challenge..let alone having people spam the flag functionality of Amazon to either some neopuritan crusade or purposefully done biz sabatoge— Chuck Gaffney (@princetrunks) February 29, 2020

Até o momento, a Amazon não reverteu suas decisões em relação a essas figures.
