- wongarsu 5y agoFor the most part, Amazon does what they say they do. Sure, they have their problems with fraud, counterfeits and reviews, but at least they don't start a marketing campaign "we have the most honest reviews of all web shops". That doesn't necessarily mean everyone loves them, being trustworthy is only one aspect of likability. You can like the results and communication without approving of the means.
- snowwrestler 5y agoThe missing link here is that the U.S. government policymaking process is very much tied to citizen sentiment. Politicians who attack popular things can find themselves out of power. As long as most people are OK with Amazon, there will not be much public demand for government to make new policy to constrain them. Policymaking is the key process because it’s not illegal in the U.S. to outcompete other companies, regardless of how big or small they are.
