united states says it is reviewing the election results and. amazon has begun removing products with nazi symbolism from its online store the decision comes off and the same was criticized for allowing sales by third parties of right wing paraphernalia and says it has blocked several seller is reviewing the status of all this amazon's regulations ban third parties from selling products that promote hatred violence or racial and sexual intolerance. and on his report our until today has been looking at this story in detail and wasn't says that it's removed the offending items so story over actually i don't think it is i mean yes to amazon's credit they removed many of the offending items many of the nazi propaganda that or paraphernalia that was brought up however just with a cursory review of their store today i was able to find dozens and dozens of books

that still openly called for well the introduction of the neo nazi ideology throughout the world i mean as you were saying amazon's terms of service is banned . and anything that promotes or glorify hatred or violence or religious or racial intolerance however which is a couple minutes of research i was able to find books that said things like they were calling for the creation of a pro white government around the world that we're not going to bow down to the forces of money or jews or other documents that were that were described themselves as sacred texts for the national socialist camp for of the twenty first century and beyond so it does seem that amazon is still making money with new nazi propaganda what about those on the other hand he might count such texts are protected under freedom of expression well in certain cases the united states they definitely are the united states is much more liberal of freedom of expression laws than we do in germany in this case at least however amazon itself bans the use of this type of terminology in these type of and these type of material on in their terms of

services so the question is why are they actually allowing it to be sold and also while i was looking at many of these books at least they they all said that they were shipped and sold by amazon dot com now it didn't appear to be labeled with the same type of etiquette that you'd see if it were being sold by a third party member so it really does seem that amazon is making some type of money or doing some type of business with new nazi paraphernalia right that's a very interesting element in this whole story but this isn't the first time that we've seen american tech companies actually be a key. giving a platform to extreme elements is it no it definitely isn't i mean we've seen time and time again that many of these large tech giants are you know they're going fast and trying to break things they want to be disruptive and they don't really pay attention to a lot of the content that's been produced on their sites the kind of hoping that the community will police itself even in this case amazon also said that any time something like this is flagged by its community members it's removed now we've also

seen something like this come up with facebook and was twitter in recent in recent months in recent years where they're constantly offering a platform to a lot of more extreme elements and it's getting them in trouble now it also kind of comes down to a fight between the european union the united states the united states the much more law a fair approach when it comes to dealing with these tech giants as the kind of do what they want to do and see what comes out at the end the european union however is focusing on them in trying to encourage regulation of the content that's being produced there they want the companies to actually say ok we're checking the stuff in advance now it really doesn't seem up or finding a middle ground yet the companies are moving in those directions but they haven't really found you know that key that will kind of help the american approach gel with the more regulatory heavy european approach so i don't really know what the solution is in the and in short term to be honest and have we heard from amazon on this well specifically about this specifically not i mean they have removed some of the other items and i tried to get ahold of them today i put out i sent them e-mails that made phone calls as well but we haven't received any official

statement yet but as soon as we have that we will report on it senator thank you very much news reporter aaron tilton then the king into this story for us. some schools news now and serena williams as prospects for the u.s. open have taken a blood off the she pulled out of the road just cup that's a key warm up tournament saying only that the decision was her personal reasons while the american battled back to the top of the tennis off the life saving surgery following the birth of her first child was runner up at wimbledon last month but her most recent mount jane a san jose california when it ended in a humiliating six one six love defeat to britain's john akong to that was the worst defeat of her. career. that you're up to date with the latest from a d w news film or do you had to a website that is of course d w dot com i'm helena humphrey in berlin and i have plenty more
