    There’s a lot of plausible deniability there…

    So these had to be really fucking bad to get yanked immediately.

    People keep talking about holding sites accountable for speech made in comments, but what needs to happen is holding corps like Amazon and SheIn accountable for what they serve up from 3rd party sellers.

    If they let fake/illegal products be sold thru them, they should be liable.

    It’s the only way to make them care enough to pay a human to manually approve listings and changes.

    It’s not an unsolvable problem, it’s just to solve it, a billionaires number in their stock portfolio would go down. Their life would not change in anyway, but they’re unwilling to do it anyways.

        That was not regulations…

        There was no fines…

        That was “concerned individuals” lobbying the payment processors, and the processes going along with it and then trying to force steam.

        Like, I don’t know if you’re arguing for “free market justice” or just don’t understand what that was all about…
