So now, Amazon is blaming social media for the plague of false reviews on its site.
If they have the resources to dedicate to tracking their shoppers' habits, and the resources to surveil and harass their employees at the slightest whiff of a unionization effort, they have the resources to fix this:
Amazon today said it can't stop fake product reviews without help from social media companies, and it blamed those companies for not doing more to prevent solicitation of fake reviews.
In a blog post, Amazon said its own "continued improvements in detection of fake reviews and connections between bad-actor buying and selling accounts" has led to "an increasing trend of bad actors attempting to solicit fake reviews outside Amazon, particularly via social media services."
Amazon doesn't handle the fake review problem because they don't want to. Anything near a full accounting would reveal just how badly they are screwing their customers, and they make a lot of money by screwing these same customers.
That's also why they are so lackadaisical about pursuing counterfeit product in their market.
