Hmm, I see a lot of people here mad and arguing for regulation to stop Amazon from making their own white label products, but it seems like selective outrage.

Hmm, I see a lot of people here mad and arguing for regulation to stop Amazon from making their own white label products, but it seems like selective outrage. When the discussion is about censorship online (demonetizing, blocking people who they don’t like but have done nothing against explicitly stated rules, banning anyone critical of the WHO) the argument often becomes “They’re a private business, they can do whatever they like and you don’t need to use them”. How is the solution if you don’t like what Amazon is doing with white label products (that almost all major retailer does) to just not use Amazon? Even if you consider Amazon a monopoly, they don’t prevent the name brand product from being sold there. If they did it would be a similar issue. This really seems like a Rorschach test for a political ideology.
