BREAKING NEWS: Amazon Japan offices raided

Posted on January 25, 2015 by

The Asahi Shinbun is reporting that on Friday, January 23, 2015, Japanese police raided the offices of Amazon Japan on suspicion of violating anti-pornography laws. This web site reported on the illegal sales of child abuse images back in October 2014, when decrying the sales of questionable material online both at Amazon Japan and Rakuten as well as their lack of responsiveness to complaints.

Now that the police are involved, I feel justified in repeating “WE TOLD YOU SO, AMAZON.” Clean this filth out, once and for all.

About MThomas

Long ago, I gave up my high school dreams of becoming the next Carl Sagan and instead wound up working (in order) at McDonald's, a '60s-themed restaurant, a video rental store, a used bookstore, a computer seller, Kinko's, a Jewish newspaper company, and an HR firm. I eventually became a teacher of intercultural communication in Kyoto, where I vainly attempt to apply quantum mechanics to language teaching, practice martial arts and Zen Buddhism, and always keep one eye on the sky.
