Amazon “suicide kits” have led to teen deaths

I was referring to the product pairings, not the search result autocompletion (which does seem like a pretty glaring problem).

Cutting off a search early is easy. Deciding that “even though these are commonly purchased together, this pairing shouldn’t be shown” seems like a fundamentally different problem.

Dropping results is easy to do, too. Figuring out what shouldn't be paired? That's a curation problem.

Agreed, and this is why I compared it to the social media curation problem.

The thing I was replying to was the sentiment that this should have been solved decades ago.

Curation/moderation is never solved, only managed.
