"Though Etsy does not intend to visit or otherwise directly vet manufacturers — or limit the size of companies that apply — the site will require that they commit to providing a safe and just workplace and agree to be transparent about the processes and other details involved in their manufacturing work, Ms. Peyton said. ... Manufacturers who receive negative reviews from Etsy sellers or are found to be violating Etsy guidelines could be removed from the platform." The last sentence seems awfully weasel-worded to me, especially since the first sentence says that, for compliance, Etsy will just take the manufacturer's word for it. It definitely reminds me of the controversial "but we're just a platform" stance of, e.g., Uber.
