The other day while viewing Amazon for a scam product I noticed I couldn't see any of the 1 star reviews. There was a button to click to "request all reviews" or something like that.

Now several days later I get "Your request is not approved at this time, and you will see a limited selection of customer reviews."

This seems bonkers to me... like.... nearly fraud?

@xssfox well yes, that is fraud. please let the commerce commission know.

people (me, and please put them in touch to verify it) are insisting the commerce commission boot Amazon out of Aotearoa. it has no place here.

Temu too would obviously be appreciated.

those types of organisation are classed as wealth extraction systems. they are not real retailers.

that fact alone is clear grounds for making them illegal to operate here.
