Amazon to Remove QAnon Products From Platform Days After US Capitol Violence

Amazon on Monday said it was working to remove some QAnon products from its online marketplace, citing policies that prohibit offensive items or other inappropriate content. The world’s largest online retailer drew scrutiny for having apparel with QAnon insignia and related books up for sale days after QAnon followers joined last week’s siege of the US Capitol, which left five people dead. QAnon backers have pushed conspiracies on social media based on web postings from the anonymous “Q,” citing insider knowledge of US President Donald Trump’s administration. The company alleged that Parler had violated the terms of service of its cloud computing division, Amazon Web Services, for failing to deal with an increase in violent social media.
