  If Telegram management were knowingly letting terrorists plot attacks on their platform, they should definitely be held accountable. Similarly, if Amazon management were knowingly letting scammers scam innocent people on their platform, they should definitely be held accountable.

You can even report obvious scams and Amazon does nothing about it.
