> 26 percent of internet-using American households [self-reported in US Census survey] avoided buying goods or services

- pessimizer 10y agoI've purchased many things from Amazon, and I'm a member of Amazon Prime. I've purchased more items on Amazon this year than I did last year. I've also avoided buying goods and services on the internet because of internet surveillance. You seem to think that's not possible, likely, or common enough that a quarter of households would report it - because Amazon's sales have risen.
