Author here. We learned this a couple weeks ago when I blogged about logging C functions. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31443198#31444751 I've been in contact with several employees trying to get it resolved. One of our regular contributors is even a staff security engineer at Amazon and he's just as confused about what's happening as the rest of us. There's a real lack of transparency so far on the part of Amazon and there's no official channels for appealing these sort of black box decisions. It's a real shame, since this isn't just my blog, but it also represents all the people who've been working hard to contribute. If we've been blacklisted by a company like Amazon then I'd like to at least know what's wrong and what steps I can take to address the situation.
