Amazon thinks Im a communist witch

[Anti_Hypeman]

How do they come up with your recomendations?

1. Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft
2. The Communist Manifesto
3 - 6. All wicca books
7. Penn & Teller -- Bullsh*t! The Complete Second Season

AHHHHHHH. Further down the list it starts to get better with some Trek books mixed in.

I did order Captains Blood by Shatner from them so the Trek is valid but why the other junk higher on the list? #7 is the first valid one. Maybe because I have searched for real magic books and it got confused.

I dont understand the communist recomendation at all the last book I ordered was a cyberpunk novel did that connect me to communism or was it William Shatner?

What if the governement uses simillar technology as amazons to classify people. Since they can search library and book store records at will now I could be flagged a commie and end up on the mysterious watch list for buying a Shatner novel.

Amazon's such a good resource to buy a bunch of books, music and movies that are hard to find, but I'm paranoid of how they keep all that stuff on record. I can browse through stuff I bought 6 years ago with prices, dates, and how I paid.

How Your Recommendations Works

Your recommendations are based on the items you've purchased from us and the behaviour of other customers who've bought the same items.

Recommendations change immediately when you purchase or rate a title. Your list will change constantly, so it's a good idea to add items that interest you to your Wish List, which you can share with others.

How to tell us you already own or are not interested in an item we've recommended

Go to the recommendations homepage and click the recommendations link for the item's product group (e.g., "more books recommendations"). Click the "I Own It" or "Not Interested" button next to the appropriate item.

How to stop us basing recommendations on particular items you've purchased

You may have bought items for other people using your Amazon.co.uk account, especially around Christmas time. If you don't want us to recommend similar items to you, click here and sign in. You'll see a page that lists all the purchases you've made using your Amazon.co.uk account, with the option to rate purchases or exclude them completely.

How to tell us about other items you like but didn't buy from Amazon.co.uk

If you've got a favourite thing--a book you love, or a fantastic MP3 player--but you didn't buy it from Amazon.co.uk, we can still base recommendations on it. Go to the item's product information page and use the blue "Recommendations" box on the left-hand side to rate it. You can also use this feature to tell us about items you don't like.
