‘Has flat buttocks,’ ‘cusses when scared’: Amazon keeps shockingly specific customer profiles

Mine is pretty straightforward, “builds electronics” “has precision tools” “likely has a french press” (I do, I bought it on Amazon), “prioritizes high-speed data transfer”, “Probably has a computer system with internal expansion” (I bought an NVMe SSD from Amazon once), “Likely lives in (the town in my saved shipping address)”

So surveillance. Much sleuthing.

It’s a lot bigger than just this though, because they buy data broker info, which isn’t included.

I once read a piece in Harper’s Magazine, they bought these data brokers’ bullshit and looked at their own profiles, and they were very wrong on a great many things, wrongly labeling people as gay, (facebook tried showing me gay ads at one point,) and a host of other ill informed conclusions about us.

Keep in mind, the feds, and maybe states now, buy this information to use against us. We should have some rights, but we don’t.
