Amazon is called to order for its Kindle application, intended for reading, on which it is however possible to find pornographic images!
The Kindle service offered by Amazon allows you to read a large number of books directly on your smartphone or e-reader. A real godsend for heavy readers, who nevertheless seem to have their faults, to be corrected quickly!
Apple and Alphabet in Vigil Mode
Those who like to read directly on screen know it, Kindle is a real gold mine in terms of gender diversity. Detective, fantastic or sentimental literature, there is something for everyone. An eclecticism that unfortunately goes as far as pornography, according to discoveries from Apple and Alphabet!
Indeed, albums of pornographic images would have been made available to Kindle subscribers, with quite explicit titles like “75 hot and completely naked photos of a young blonde” or “Real Erotica: Naked Amateur Girls – Vol. 4”. Some featured images depicted naked women, while in others readers could see two people having sex.
It’s ok for now
A problem, since according to Reuters, the information would have been reported after the downloading of these books by teenagers on the Kindle application. Amazon announced “ take issues like this very seriously “. ” We review all available information and take action based on our findings “, explained the firm of Jeff Bezos.
So, will it be necessary to impose on Kindle the double anonymity identification that the government wants to put in place? Joking aside, Apple and Alphabet quickly communicated on the problem, and contacted Amazon to resolve this embarrassment which contravenes the policy of the two giants in terms of content.
It must be said that it is extremely easy to publish a self-published manuscript on the Kindle platform, so that it is then accessible almost instantly on all e-readers. Will Amazon have to put more safeguards between the submission of the manuscript and its publication to avoid incurring the wrath of its partners, tech giants?
