Jeff Bezos hosted Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to his private, invitation-only, weekend at a resort he rented out. Bezos had many close ties to Epstein. Bezos also had numerous private dinners with Epstein.
The photo is from a party where Ghislaine Maxwell hobnobbed with him but make no mistake they were close friends.
Make sure to add this note to your files about Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon.
My first item “uses Linux”… But does it know I use arch btw?
This should shock no one and if anything the shocking thing is transparency (though that is likely a ploy as I guarantee based on these articles plenty of people will go view it to correct the record, giving Amazon a great source of refinement for ad tracking)
Literally every major website (and basically every website that run JavaScript for that matter) tracks and profiles you. Your tv does the same, as does your phone and almost all the apps on it, etc. and the profiling they don’t show you definitely exists: race, political affiliation/leaning, income estimates, address, educational level, health issues, etc
This definitely seems to be US-based at the moment. The relevant page doesn’t exist on the Australian site, but if I log into the Amazon US site, it is there (albeit blank in my case, which is interesting).
It’s in the UK version. On iPhone: You --> Account (along the top) --> Your Shopping preferences (under Personalization) --> About You (at the bottom).
I can‘t find any of that in the German/EU version. Instead I can select interests if I want to. I‘m going to assume they don‘t have any of that heavy profiling here.
I live in the UK and used the UK web version, it has nothing. Maybe because I have almost entirely stopped using Amazon?
The UK web version definitely doesn’t have any such link for me.
- Side bar --> You Account (see all)
- Scroll down to Account Settings --> Shopping Preferences
It was pretty accurate about my interests which I saw no problem with (“prefers reliable open source ecosystems”), but took issue with it guessing the size of my family, so I updated it to say that I live in an underground bunker with 10 others in a polycule.
I also updated my halloween decoration preferences to suggest I fight crime at night
Can’t wait to see what my next searches are like 👀
There’s no “account settings” in the “your account” page. There’s no “see all”, and there’s also no “shopping preferences”. I assume you’re being served a different page to me.
that one worked thanks :)
I found it on the UK web version but I had to use the browser’s search function to find it on the page.
It had nothing, which I’m hoping because I’ve previously opted out of analytics?
I used the search (the ctrl-f search) and found nothing
Either they’re A/B testing, or you’re on the wrong page
About You (at the bottom).
Now we know how you like it
For me, it was directly under account, there was an about you tab a few options below shopping preferences.
It says that I have an 11-year old child. Unless you count household pets, there ain’t no such thing.
Also, it knows about two out of eight RAM sticks that I bought from Ebay. It mentions other AI assistants learned about me, and asked if I wanted to share. I think assistants from other websites are already sharing.
…ah. I used someone else’s PC and account to ask Google questions about my computer build. My personal Amazon account is under the Prime account of that person.
Same in France
I logged into my old US account. It didn’t have anythin on me, but did have this:
LOL. Fuck no.
Yeah mine is the same. Plan to keep it that way. I don’t know how it got that way, probably saw an article like “opt out of all these AI features” and then did all of them without even thinking.
Mine just told me that they do not have any information about me outside of my shopping history and tried to get me to activate Alexa to change that - over my dead body lol
Same, and only on the US site (that section isn’t on the Canadian site).
It’s also not in the app when logged into the Brazilian store, the American one has it though.
These are pulled from the item descriptions. OP probably bought something ‘for flat butts’ and boom it goes in their preferences.
Mine is literally just all things I bought from amazon. So yeah.
It thinks I’m married with two kids, because well, I buy lots of toys and things for women for the holidays… well yeah because I have nephews/nieces and two sisters… so of course I buy things for kid and women regularly as gifts.
Must be an American thing where no rules for corporations exist. Nothing on my swedish version.
Be glad. Otherwise the Amazon suggestions probably:
Well this is embarassing. How did you find my search history but amazon wouldnt show me?
I see nothing on my Canadian one.
“Has no money.”
I mean, yeah, but why you gotta call me out like that?
There is no “about you” option on the Canadian version 🤔
Yeah I think maybe USA only?
Thanks for posting this, prompted me to log in and delete my account
You know who has no friends?
Douchebag Jeff Bezos. That’s who.
Everyone fucking hates you dude.
I’ve never seen a photo of his yacht full of people having fun.
They only do parties in international waters. Because of the implications
And the kids. It’s because they like to fuck kids.
Looks to be not a thing in EU, can’t find the UI for it
I found it in the location the article said. I had to enter from the browser in “desktop mode” with my phone, but the section was empty
Ooh okay, so maybe not in the app yet in EU?
I like knowing how little Amazon actually knows about me. It’s a relief to see.
Doesn’t enjoy shopping with: Amazon
