What is worse, is that 'violation' or 'abuse' is can be nebulously
defined. Technically, Amazon could wipe your books because you said
something they disagreed with politically when reviewing a book on their
site.
I have a big problem with companies like Facebook, Twitter and such
believing that they have a responsibility to enforce a moral code. I
have a problem with people saying they should do that, and they should
police morality.
I don't want businesses thinking that THEY are the ones who get to
define what is acceptable or not, but as more and more of our life is
stored and mediated by profit making entities, they are naturally going
to exercise greater power over us. Why wouldn't they?
