Amazon and Facebook
Amazon and Facebook Reportedly Had a Secret Data-Sharing Agreement, and It Explains So Much

Quote:
Back in 2015, a woman named Imy Santiago wrote an Amazon review of a novel that she had read and liked. Amazon immediately took the review down and told Santiago she had “violated its policies.” Santiago re-read her review, didn’t see anything objectionable about it, so she tried to post it again. “You’re not eligible to review this product,” an Amazon prompt informed her.

When she wrote to Amazon about it, the company told her that her “account activity indicates you know the author personally.” Santiago did not know the author, so she wrote an angry email to Amazon and blogged about Amazon’s “big brother” surveillance.
This reinforces that years ago when I read Facebooks TOS and decided it was not for me that was the right choice.
