The Issue

Amazon.com has a moral responsibility to ensure that young girls aren't being abused with help from their website, and that they aren't facilitating human trafficking.
It is a documented fact that many of the girls in these counties are forced in to prostitution. Forced prostitution is rape. Sex with girls (or boys) is under 18 is rape. Sex trafficking is horrific human rights violation. According to amazon.com's own code of ethics they are forbidden to promote "criminal acts, pornography, offensive material and titles which may lead to... illegal activity" are among the prohibited content listed in the guidelines. Prostitution in Thailand ILLEGAL.
