It's possible that whatever mechanism Amazon uses to flag objectionable content is being gamed. i.e., someone found an exploit and chose this weekend to exploit it. Certainly, this weekend is an odd time for any company to make any sort of massive change. And this change is one that is wildly at odds with their corporate behavior so far.
I'd be really surprised if Amazon made decisions on objectionable content without a flesh and blood Amazon employee getting involved though. (Of course, the exploit might be that they have a way to flag objectionable content in the first place.)
