Because our protections against these forces have been thoroughly eroded and destroyed. Democratic government is no longer working for us but rather against us

  > Because our protections against these forces have been thoroughly eroded and destroyed. This gets trotted out every time there's a "big tech violating our privacy" story, and it's correct most of the time but not this one. Amazon is offering you a purely voluntary choice to sell your data. What "protections" have been "thoroughly eroded and destroyed" in this case? You're free to not sell your data. If anything, you need to do more work (ie. install the app and opt in) to have your privacy invaded.
