Unfair: Bestselling erotica author Selena Kitt has accused Amazon of 'corporate censorship'

Amazon has been accused of 'corporate censorship' by erotic fiction writers who claim the internet giant is 'secretly' making it harder for fans to find adult books on the site.

Erotica authors have hit out at Amazon - the world's largest online retailer - claiming it is affecting their income and narrowing readers' choices by flagging and filtering adult titles so they don't show up in a basic search on Amazon.com.

The website is threatening authors' livelihood and 'punishing' erotica fans by 'arbitrarily' filtering content, writers have said.

Erotic fiction writer Selena Kitt, the best-selling author of titles like EcoErotica, Confessions, and Back to the Garden, said in a blog post: 'Everytime one of these corporations decides to change the rules (again) without telling publishers (again) what or what isn't acceptable in their venue, they take food off my table.

'Yes corporations can sell what they like... but they should then have the cajones to tell publishers and authors what is or isn't okay with them,' she said, before going on to describe how her book Girls Only: Pool Party - which features two scantily clad women embracing on the cover - was excluded by Amazon from its 'all department' search.

The 'adult' flag imposed by Amazon meant readers would have to search within the 'books' category or via its specific title in order to find it, the American author said.
