America is slowly turning on Bezos and what was done to American sellers , Amazon favored bogus chinese IP infringement claims that was overtaking American businesses . This practice amongst others quietly expanded until Chinese sellers made up nearly 60% of the platform
Makes sense why a few days ago his offer to buy TIKTOK was the best positioned to be approved by the CCP
FYI, Bezos' hasn't ran Amazon in like 4 years.
Intellectual property is bogus.
All of that is entitlement on display.
"I want big daddy gubment to keep the bad people from making my idea cheaper so I can monopolize thought."
GTFO.
1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ % Free markets fix this.
Agreed but The issue isn’t IP itself, it’s that it was enforced selectively used as a weapon to shut down American businesses( not even compete), while foreign sellers faced little to no scrutiny. That’s not a free market. It’s a manipulated one, propped up by uneven bogus enforcement and corporate complicity. People got their store completely shutdown with barely any recourse or chance to compete
That sucks, sure, but...
That's what happens after generations of capitulating to a fiat-empowered despotism.
It's also a sign of how fragile people are these days. That's, honestly, not entirely their fault until they realize that. Then it is their fault for not fixing themselves
I don't like siding with Amazon... But... In this case, it's not Amazon's job/responsibility to play arbiter of ficticious and harmful legal entitlements that shouldn't exist in the first place.
Out innovate or outproduce. Preferably both. Patents and IP laws are retarded.
Hi sarah 🏴☠️🤟😉 It’s interesting how power dynamics shift. Bezos’ approach to maximizing Amazon’s growth by enabling Chinese sellers may have contributed to undermining American businesses, but it’s also a strategic business move to stay competitive globally. As for TikTok, it seems like a move to secure influence in a massively popular platform. The real question is whether this reflects a deeper trend of prioritizing global market dominance over national interests. It’s going to be interesting to see how this all unfolds. What are your thoughts on the long-term effects?
