I'm having trouble understanding your point. Leaving aside simply googling it, surely you can't be saying that because you haven't heard of something, it doesn't exist or isn't a threat or isn't worth any concern.


Considering I have heard, and regularly hear of Facebook and Google account bans, my sample size seems large enough to conclude that either amazon account bans don’t happen, or nobody cares enough to make angry posts about it.

It’s still a concern because of the mechanics of the thing, but it appears less applicable for amazon at the moment.


That exact "logic" is extremely common in journalism, as well as on most social media platforms including this one.

If you think about it, this shouldn't be all that surprising - after all, this is exactly how intuition works, and the human mind runs very much on intuition, people just don't realize it (at the object level).


I've never heard of intuition so this must false. I'm sure I'd know about it otherwise.


Sometimes I get in a kind of a depressed funk, and then a comment like this comes along to refill my optimism-for-humanity tank.
