"Amazon.com Inc. employees have used data about independent sellers on the company’s platform to develop competing products"

Don't brick and mortar stores do this too? Not sure how popular "own brand" products are in America but in Europe grocery stores will sell "own brand" produce at cheaper prices. How do grocery stores choose what products to sell under their own brand, surely this is based on how well certain products are selling?

I think it’s an Irish thing, we’re always apologising for something! :)

I think the point OP was trying to make was relating to google services and their dependencies on each other.

This is my problem too and they seem to be getting more bold. For example YouTube TV is $45 a month and you will still be hit with targeted commercials based on this accumulated data. For free services I'm kinda ok with it but if your paying? Not ok and not so entitled to expect separation.
