Amazon is a machine that can simultaneously observe, compare and analyze more than 300 million people worldwide. The company is not just a marketplace, market supervisor and provider of more and more services and consumer items - it also controls all the data streams in this market and uses them to its own benefit. Who suspects that a single click on an Amazon page will forward information to the company that fills a printed DIN-A-4 page? A conversation with Alexa, watching a streaming offer on Amazon-Prime, ordering vegetables via Amazon-Fresh - all this put together creates a whole library of information about every customer. The group collects everything - it just won’t reveal what conclusions it draws from it. What would be possible if data from other, new business areas were added? In the USA, Amazon is also active in the health and insurance sectors, and police officers are using its facial recognition software to search for wanted persons.

I don't use Amazon, it's that simple, don't use it! Support your local merchants and support the community you live in. The tax in Seattle would have cost Amazon 5 hours worth of it's anual profits. Oh, let's not forget about Amazon having a huge contract with the Pentagon/military

There is still some journalism left thankfully

The day we brought "smartphones" into our lives, was the day we lost our souls! - you're 20 minutes into your daily work commute and realised, the fridge door was left open. Most people will continue on their commute to work. However, if we were 5 minutes away from reaching the office and realised, we left our phone home, most people would make the journey back even if it took 45 minutes.

29:06 FASCISM plain and simple. Definition of Fascism = "The merger of state and corporate power!" - Benito Mussolini (the founder of Fascism)
-
" I have a sense of privacy that is for me more important than that convenience". I do agree with this. Each day.
-
Alexa being the spokesperson of Amazon is rather ironic and scary at the same time.
-
It's particularly evil that Amazon is opening brick and mortar stores.
-
Quality of content is out of this world, keep it up DW!
-
I think these large companies are becoming the standard oil of this century.
-
Even by using the comment section we are telling google more about us.

This is one of the many reasons I do not shop on Amazon. First is that they do not treat their employees well. It take 8 minutes just to walk to the bathroom and 8 minutes back to their station and Fulfillment Center employees only have 10 minute breaks and they are not allow to use the bathroom but on break. Grown men cry on the job because they are so stressed out. Forget your home life you are to dam tired to care for your family and kids.

The internet is mankind's greatest innovation since Gutenberg's printing press. Like the printing press, the Internet can be used for a good or bad purpose.

Amazing documentary!! You just don't see this quality of reporting very often nowadays. Great job DW Documentary!
-
If you're frightened about amazon, wait till you find out about the data Google is holding😂
-
This documentary is the best I have seen in 2020. DW you are the best mainstream media. You are very balanced. You do not lead the viewer on but simply provide the info.
-
Great documentary- have never bought anything on Amazon! Hate the fact that they don't pay taxes- how the hell did we get to this!~
-
Same thing is happening in Africa-In Kenya fruit vendors are already complaining because fruits are getting cheaper in supermarkets so citizens are not buying from vendors,it is happening slowly but with time we will be in the same boat .Jumia is the Kenyan amazon and it is collecting data too.
-
Most things need to be shut down for monopolies, being not so kind to workers etc, you know the drill
-
Bezos is beginning to look a lot like Dr. Evil lol.

Amazon heck! Driving down the road having a casual conversation with my wife about the water heater going on the fritz. Next thing you know my wife’s iphone pops out with no less than five companies that repair water heaters, kinda creepy. Who is gathering info and how are they gathering it. I think I will hang on to my flip phone awhile longer, lol.
