Controversial article

[edit]

In July 2018, Forbes published an opinion piece by Mourdoukoutas titled "Amazon Should Replace Local Libraries to Save Taxpayers Money". It was deleted due to backlash from American libraries and their communities. In deleting the article, Forbes noted that it "was outside of this contributor’s specific area of expertise."[2][3]
