Liliana Morrison | 1 comments Recently, I self-published a book that happens to have "Coronavirus" mentioned in the title. Amazon as well as other social media titans will not allow me to pay for any advertising because my book has this word in it. Amazon told me that "due to sensitive issues" it's indefinite when they decide to allow me to showcase my book.

I explain more about this in my article, but I am anxious that there will soon be countless of creatives and scholars who will want to teach, sing, write, and make films about this unforgettable moment in history but will be prevented by companies like Amazon.

In fact, it's already happening.

So how long are we forced to stay silent until it’s deemed appropriate to write about this moment in time?
If you share the same concerns as I do, please reshare my article because I am worried about our freedom of expression as writers.

Yes, especially if anything you say about it is remotely controversial or is contrarian in nature.

It's Covid-19(84) in terms of censorship and controlling language/speech to allow only specific words and terms...
