...I worked for a company that gave free products in exchange for a review. my reviews were honest yet amazon had a policy against reviews for exchanges.. now my review privileges are stripped away. I also posted a harmless review for The Ted Cruz coloring book.. I said it made a great gag gift ( which is why I bought it) and they refused to post it because it was abusive they said. So I know they have policies. just have to make them enforce them.
