    Everything they present seems geared towards selling me something. I imagine it is likely worth it for them and checks a box regarding customer information.

      Oh, yes. I am sure the original point of making this information available in the first place is following some legislation. It’s just interesting how suddenly everyone’s talking about flat butt and other tidbits, (of course they are, it’s funny) so I wonder whether that was engineered to get this kind of response. Maybe I’m just too cynical these days.

        Most journalism is starved to produce any content, so I can see a tech site willing to publish an article like this.

        I’ve seen enough technical decisions get made to feel like no one in the room probably understood that this could happen; if anything they were probably worried about telling customers they have a flat ass.

        Amazon is definitely a company willing to deceptive things as a way to get ahead, but they aren’t all knowing and all powerful.
