No. Amazon has a view of what it thinks is best for the US. That view is informed by its own self interest. Others have a view of what they think is best for the US. Their views are informed by their own self interest. Ultimately when a view does not align with the law of the land, the holder of the view can a) comply, b) comply and seek to redress their issues, or c) fail to comply. Amazon, in the speech above, says it will comply. There is nothing hypocritical in wanting a voice in a policy decision.
- slg 6y ago>Amazon has a view of what it thinks is best for the US. That view is informed by its own self interest. This doesn't follow. The argument above is that Amazon is a amoral corporation that seeks to make money to the extent that the law allows. Amazon is not considering what is in the best interest of the country. It is acting in the best interest of Amazon.
