#4I guess they don't want consumers/voters to see how much China is paying???
Time to wake up and smell the coffee --- tariffs are really a tax on *YOU* --- not China.
No country has ever taxed it's citizens into greatness.

#5The executive really shouldn't be interfering with private companies in this way. This is Amazon bowing to fears of retaliation. For what, giving customers true information?

#8There is no regulation or legislation that is telling Amazon they can/can't or should/shouldn't post this information. Amazon appears to be responding to the wishes of the President out of fealty or fear. The threat of a negative response by the President is enough to change the behavior of the company.

To me, this calls into question to what degree Amazon will willfully comply with government requests that come in via phone call and not a warrant.
From the Amazon shopping side, you can build quite a profile on someone based on their past order history. Want to find protesters? There’s been a number of folks who don’t usually order office supplies suddenly ordering the thick Sharpie markers in a certain area...
Hopefully AWS steers clear of this, I suppose. That’d have even worse implications.
