Recently, one of our marketers discovered that Amazon does not allow "queer theory" to be included as a keyword in enhanced product descriptions (the fancy graphics you sometimes see at the bottom of a book page on Amazon).

In other words, our book about how LGBTQIA+ content is rendered invisible by the internet's infrastructure could NOT be tagged as "queer theory." Ironic, don't you think?

Monea traces this phenomenon to the United States' 30-year war on porn and the over-regulation of sexual content, which has been driven by anti-porn activists, religious groups, biased coders and moderators, and many others.
