The insanity is not that they did it, it's that Amazon allows it. It's not like they were actually trying to sell urine, they just wanted to point out how fucked amazon is.
Since that’s literally the only takeaway, if they can’t see it, I’m not sure explaining it will help.
It's not like Amazon has a category for "bottled urine." Was it left up after it was flagged?
You could read the article, it was a drink.
It's almost like people expect that the things for sale are legal and safe, without first having people get harmed and having to report it.
I did read it. My point is that it's not like Amazon specifically supported this. Someone could pull this same stunt on eBay; would eBay then come under identical fire?
They just did for selling those coal rolling kits. I don't see why this would be any different. They're facilitating the sale. It's their platform. They have a responsibility to the people who use it, as well as a responsibility to treat their workers like human beings.
