TAMPA, Fla. & LOS ANGELES - s4story -- Launched by Florida Author and Artist Kris Courtney following a $16 million federal claim against Amazon, Google, and Meta, has struck a nerve where others report identical patterns of censorship, review manipulation, and algorithmic suppression, loss of income and product collapse.

The campaign comes as Courtney's federal antitrust complaint details coordinated actions by all three platforms occurring within 72-hour windows, including the sudden U.S.-only ban of his award-winning book "FLORIDA RETIREMENT IS MURDER" hours after it reached #8 in Canada and attracted Hollywood interest from Creative Artists Agency.

SYSTEMATIC PATTERNS EMERGE ACROSS PLATFORMS
Authors describe remarkably similar experiences:

Amazon/KDP Suppression:

• Books banned exclusively in U.S. markets
• Verified five-star reviews deleted without explanation
• Coordinated "hate bomb" fake one-star reviews
• Authors kept below critical 4.5-star algorithmic promotion threshold

Google Search Suppression:

• Author websites suddenly "de-indexed" or pushed to page 3+
• Traffic throttled with pretextual "unusual activity" warnings
• SEO rankings collapsed overnight without cause
• Author names fail to appear in searches for their own book titles

Meta (Facebook/Instagram) Suppression:

• Page reach reduced by 95-99% overnight
• Ad campaigns rejected despite following all policies
• Shadow banning prevents followers from seeing posts
• Content visibility eliminated across multiple accounts

"When one platform acts, that could be policy enforcement. When three platforms controlling 70-90% market share each act in synchronized 72-hour windows repeatedly—that's illegal conspiracy in restraint of trade," noted Courtney, whose complaint documents this pattern occurring more than twice in his case. Courtney explained. "It's not just about books. It's about whether three companies can coordinate to eliminate anyone who succeeds without their permission."
