I have received notification of the same violation along with numerous others with similar themes.
I am no longer wasting time on querying this, I have removed them from stock and will relist elsewhere.

I believe they are making space for 'The Death of The American Empire 2025' .

Yes I had that deactivation (I actually sold the DVD long ago). Rude art house films seem to be a no-no.
In better news, the DVD of 'No Sex Please We're British' did get reinstated (but not the VHS).
No sex please, we're Amazon.

We have had similar messages for tour guides, bird watching books, dictionaries, musical scripts etc etc. etc. We have just listed a book called 'What's Wrong With America?' Let's see what happens.

So why are they selling and renting the recent Oscar Winner Anora, that has loads of sex in it

I have just had a bottle of orange essential oil deactivated because someone might be tempted to drink it. Using that logic, Amazon shouldn't sell much, everything is potentially dangerous, if used in the wrong way.
