Amazon has been under fire for hosting and selling books and videos that spread unscientific and potentially dangerous information.
Amazon removed two books that promote unscientific"autism cures" after Wired published a report earlier this week highlighting books on the site that encourage children to consume potentially toxic chemicals.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say there is no known cure for Autism Spectrum Disorder, but these books claim parents can cure the disorder through scientifically unproven approaches. The company recently appeared to remove some documentaries from its streaming service that touted widely debunked anti-vaccination theories, BuzzFeed reported earlier this month. Many of the theories push the notion that vaccines themselves cause autism, which the CDC has said is false.
