I wish there was a way for them to go after Amazon for running a service with the intention of it being abused instead of hiding behind S230 and blaming users for the blatant scams they do nothing about even when they're reported to them.
- altairprime 4y agoReporting fraudulent reviews to the FTC, rather than to Amazon, would be an excellent step towards seeing that happen.
- heavyset_go 4y agoI've actually been doing exactly that for more than 3 years[1]. Looking at that post, it is still the case 3+ years later that it is nearly impossible to report fraudulent listings and sellers to Amazon as a customer. It's literally easier to contact the FTC about it. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22388067 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22388067
