The Writer’s Lens - E8: Amazon, Big Brother, and Fake Reviews

As a bonus this week, I decided to talk briefly about the recent issue with Amazon and its dealings with fake book reviewers. Is it wrong to suddenly erase hundreds of reviews for a product? Or is it like Big Brother telling us what to think and how to act?

Certainly, there are arguments for and against this kind of thing. But, I will attempt to look at all sides of the issue. Because hey, I'm a writer. Reviews are important to me. As are the policies of one of the mega-giants of online shopping.
