Amazon Is Analyzing the Personal Relationships of Its Reviewers
This is an interesting story of a reviewer who had her review deleted because Amazon believed she knew the author personally.
Leaving completely aside the ethics of friends reviewing friends’ books, what is Amazon doing conducting this kind of investigative surveillance? Do reviewers know that Amazon is keeping tabs on who their friends are?

“Leaving completely aside” the very reason Amazon does this – preventing unethical reviews that aren’t useful for its customers – doesn’t seem useful for any meaningful discussion.
