> Stop selling user's data without their consent and GDPR is a breeze to be complaint with. Try to still sell that, eliciting the consent via dark patters, and complain how hard and complicated it is.

So it should be safe to entirely dismiss your comment on the basis that Amazon in this case hasn’t even been accused of providing data to a 3rd party, let alone selling it?

Selling/collecting - I'm glad that GDPR seems to treat them at almost equal footing, even harder to prosecute if you leave a huge backdoor

It's my data - fuck off, I'm interested in the business you're offering, not increasing your bottom-line at the expense of my privacy and especially I don't want to have a profile of me created just because you can. If I haven't consented to it, you won't do that - simple as that

It hasn’t been accused of the wrongful collection of data either. Not that hard to follow for sure…
