    Amazon isn’t a person, no corporation is. They should be subject to far more exposure.

      They didn’t know it was Amazon when they hid a tracking device in someone’s order. They suspected, only.

      What if it had been a small bookstore, or just some collector? Do you approve of those people being tracked?

      Are you really not seeing this, or are you pretending to not get it?

        What if journalists learned the names of innocent people in the Epstein files? Do the ends justify the means??? Oh no!

        The answer to your question is “then the article wouldn’t exist”.

        Your “concern” reads like concern trolling because the only way to satiate it is to shut down the free press, apparently to defend the space billionaire/pedophile billionaire class.

          They sent a tracker in a book before the article was written. Before they knew it was Amazon. It only turned out to be Amazon, but when they sent it, it could have been anyone.

          I feel like I have to ask: are you associated with the source? Your inability to understand my very simple and straightforward point is suspicious.

            They sent a tracker in a book before the article was written.

            Uh yeah. That’s why they knew it was Amazon. If it ended up somewhere else, the article would be different, and shills for space billionaires would have to come up with something else to concern troll about.

            I feel like I have to ask: are you associated with the source?

            No, but since this is your level of politeness and since you’ve ignored basic statements like “corporations are not people” and claims the Epstein class needs to be exposed, I need to ask: are they paying you to shill for them, or do you do it for free?

              Yes!! Finally!!

              What if it ended up at a mom and pop store? Are they deserving of privacy?

                What if it ended up at a mom and pop store?

                Then the article would probably be very different or not written at all, which is what I said already.

                You’re not responding to the Epstein class question I see. Really makes you think

                  Is this for real?

                  They sent a secret tracker before the article was written. The problem isn’t the article, it’s putting a secret tracker in the order. Would you like secret trackers in your orders, or would you consider that an invasion of privacy?

                  Seriously, I don’t know any other way to say it.

                  Really makes you think

                  I look forward to seeing evidence of that.

                    I look forward to seeing evidence of that.

                    Of the Epstein Class? It’s called the Epstein Files, although the Epstein Class defenders will tell you that it’s dangerous to release those files because “somebody innocent could get hurt.” I asked you point blank twice (now three times) why you’re shilling for them, with the same degree of “good faith” you demonstrated toward me.

                    Except I was capable of answering and you weren’t, which makes one think.

                    I get it, you want journalists silenced and you need to wrap that in whataboutism to make it happen, but sometimes tools can be good or bad depending on how they’re used. “You don’t want to be bombed, so Dresden shouldn’t have been bombed either” is not the moral high ground you think it is.
