Read the rest of the document from amazon, linked in my post.
Surely you're joking. What? Why can't you just quote the relevant context?

Re: Amazon must face US nationwide class action over third-party sales
#102The next class action needs to address the anticompetitive procedure of artificially protecting shit products by deleting critical customer reviews. In my Prime account, 90 percent of my reviews are positive, but because I've left several scathing, unapologetic negative reviews for products that shouldn't exist, all my reviews are now placed in eternal limbo. None of my reviews ever actually post. For the reviews tha…
Why are the incentivised reviews always positive? And usually gushing also.

If a machine catches you doing something you weren't supposed to do, it doesn't seem like snitching. Are red light cameras snitches?
Yes, what do you think snitching is? There's an automated security company called tattletale. That's what they do. The fact that there's so many social norms about not snitching is a beautiful illustration of how disconnected the rules we live under are disconnected from our own interests.
"snitches get stitches" - yes, I guess it is in my interest to not be attacked by a psycho because I told the police what the psycho did, but I wouldn't really call that norm related to my interests as a potential snticher, more like a norm meant to protect people who would be snitched on.

#104> The consumers’ 2021 lawsuit said Amazon violated antitrust law by restricting third-party sellers from offering their products for lower prices elsewhere on rival platforms while they are also for sale on Amazon. Holy shit, do Valve next! They do the exact same thing.
There is actually an ongoing case against valve for their most-favored-nation policies: https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/why-gaming-company-...

#105> Amazon argued that the class was too large to be manageable Sorry, we've wronged too many people to be held accountable! What a wild argument.
Looking at Amazon's filings, the argument they made is the following: >Given the unprecedented size of the proposed class consisting of 288 million members, the individualized issues on which their claims depend, and the overwhelming evidence that the challenged conduct resulted in lower prices in Amazon’s store, Plaintiffs have not—and cannot demonstrate that a class action would be manageable. The "individualized i…
To say it's "unfair" is a non sequitur. Other classes may have been denied certification because they are large. But being "unmanageable" is both vague and in no way equivalent to being unfair, as you put it. Computers are fast and capacious. You can manage a few hundred million things on your phone.

Not sure, but anytime I see green, I run.
At least they have some small fragment of decency in highlighting the Vine reviews. In green.

Yep, and if legal system won't work in such cases then it clearly need to be redone, somehow. It would be realy easy in monarchy (if monarch wants) so why obvious _effect_ can't be possible with democracy too ?
Same with "right deny to repair" - obviously anti-legal.
Stupidity can't win forever.
