Is this data different than the data that a major retailer would get from sales of a product on its shelves? I'm also not saying that this is certainly 100% fair. I just doubt the motives of the media on this point because they knew that major retailers were doing this, and they never said a word about it.

>Is this data different than the data that a major retailer would get from sales of a product on its shelves? This is what sold by Amazon items are like, and also why I don't care what Amazon does with that data. With FBA, to me it seems more like if like a cloud provider (who I pay for specific services) decided to launch products/services based my internal data that they could see and wasn't public.

Amazon has been accused of that as well.[1] They claimed to have a policy not to do it, but admitted they could not guarantee that they have never violated it.[2] They are also known to monitor client data to help them decide which companies to try to acquire.[3] 1. https://www.inc.com/sonya-mann/aws-startups-conflict.htm https://www.inc.com/sonya-mann/aws-startups-conflict.htm 2. https://venturebeat.com/2020/07/29/amazon-ceo-jeff-bezos-cant-guarantee-policy-seller-data-violated/ https://venturebeat.com/2020/07/29/amazon-ceo-jeff-bezos-can... 3. https://www.reuters.com/article/amazon-cloud-idUSN1E7A727Q20111109 https://www.reuters.com/article/amazon-cloud-idUSN1E7A727Q20...
