Knoxville, TN-based online bookseller Abunga.com is making headlines for allowing its buyers to ban books they believe to be indecent. Launched last fall, according to the article the site refused to carry 65,000 titles at the outset, and has banned anywhere from 100 to 200 books since then. A recent victim of Abunga’s policy? Go-to evil tome incarnate The Golden Compass, of course.

Martin insists his company has no agenda. “If you look at the books, we have a complete rainbow range of books, and we give to non-Christian ministries.” “We rely on the community to create a warehouse full of books they want,” he said. “Frankly, I know personally I am viscerally angry about the spread of pornography.”

Being a big fat hippie, I don’t agree with what these guys are doing. But hey, it’s a free country and people should be able to sell what they want and say what they want, which means I can suggest that you never buy anything from Abunga.com.
