Jeff Bezos hosted Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to his private, invitation-only, weekend at a resort he rented out. Bezos had many close ties to Epstein. Bezos also had numerous private dinners with Epstein.
The photo is from a party where Ghislaine Maxwell hobnobbed with him but make no mistake they were close friends.
Make sure to add this note to your files about Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon.
This should shock no one and if anything the shocking thing is transparency (though that is likely a ploy as I guarantee based on these articles plenty of people will go view it to correct the record, giving Amazon a great source of refinement for ad tracking)
Literally every major website (and basically every website that run JavaScript for that matter) tracks and profiles you. Your tv does the same, as does your phone and almost all the apps on it, etc. and the profiling they don’t show you definitely exists: race, political affiliation/leaning, income estimates, address, educational level, health issues, etc
Must be an American thing where no rules for corporations exist. Nothing on my swedish version.
Be glad. Otherwise the Amazon suggestions probably:
Well this is embarassing. How did you find my search history but amazon wouldnt show me?
I see nothing on my Canadian one.
I logged into my old US account. It didn’t have anythin on me, but did have this:
LOL. Fuck no.
Yeah mine is the same. Plan to keep it that way. I don’t know how it got that way, probably saw an article like “opt out of all these AI features” and then did all of them without even thinking.
“Has no money.”
I mean, yeah, but why you gotta call me out like that?
There is no “about you” option on the Canadian version 🤔
Yeah I think maybe USA only?
Looks to be not a thing in EU, can’t find the UI for it
I found it in the location the article said. I had to enter from the browser in “desktop mode” with my phone, but the section was empty
Ooh okay, so maybe not in the app yet in EU?
Doesn’t enjoy shopping with: Amazon
Maintains personal grooming routines
OMG, how embarrassing!

I bought two nose hair trimmers to earn such a description. Yes, in have a very hairy nose (inside). I kill most nose hair shavers in a year or so.

Well thanks for putting that hilarious image in my head of what (outside) looks like!
You guys didn’t turn off ad personalization?
I haven’t logged into my Amazon account in ten years, and this won’t make me do it.
Learn the difference between need and want. Stop buying crap you don’t need. And, never knowingly buy anything off Amazon.
Fuck Amazon, and Jeff Bezos. All excuses people make to willingly buy off that fucking site are bullshit.
Yeah, I don’t buy off them, but I did check, there’s nothing there on me.
It is amazing,the difference between want and need. I quit them cold turkey, thought it would be hard, but turns out, no. Not really, they had nothing I had to have. I save money, and prevent waste. And avoid supporting Amazon.
I was sort of unimpressed with mine. It was all variations of:
-Likely lives in <city where I have every order shipped>
-Likely owns <thing I buy accessories for>
And then for some reason it thinks I own a Dodge Ram. I have four vehicles saved to my account. None of them are a Dodge Ram.
Where did you find it?
I found it using my phone’s browser and I can’t remember how different the mobile page and desktop page are, so YMMV, but:
I clicked my name and a menu popped up. On that menu under “Your Account” I clicked “See all options” and it took me to a page that had “Hello” in the upper left, and beneath that a link that said “About You”, which took me to the page with that stuff.
I’m curious why you’d have four vehicles saved to an Amazon account? Like… For what reason?
Will show you compatible parts
I see.
Was always glad to have never been an Amazon customer, even more so now.
Some of the records they have are silly. Ie: likely owns x router (well duh I just purchased it). But some are odd - “can touch type without looking at keyboard”. How did they figure that out?
About they track the time between key inputs when you’re searching for something. God knows why though I can’t imagine it being particularly useful information.
How they got that observation makes sense. There must be some assumptions about that then - like that perhaps I’m more tech savvy than most people (apparently 20% of people can do that), or perhaps I make more money than average and my prices should be higher. That’s probably it.
My naive/ innocent assumption would be that if you happened to purchase mechanical keyboard supplies you might be interested in blank key caps since you don’t need the glyphs.
Speed of typing, time between clicking on the search bar and beginning to type, and how fast you correct typos since that requires you to be looking at the text while typing. Maybe also some theory-free inference if they’re handing your browsing activity to ai, which they probably are. I’m not sure what else, but a lot of storefront time is typing, so they’d be able to build a lot of confidence about what your typing method is. It’s one of the few things they could learn by directly observing your actions rather than browsing history.
If you have a webcam, is it possible they had some kind of software watching your eyes while you were typing? Or am I just being paranoid now
I keep my camera closed. But I image the light would go on if I was being watched?
It can be set not to turn on the light. Had an incident on an HP workstation where it said camera was off but it was broadcasting. Had to do some command line low level stuff to set the state of it to actually off. LED came on and off when toggle for web calls, but turning the camera off wasn’t actually doing that.
I was surprised how ordinary mine was. Things like buys mens clothing, does home improvement projects, maintains automobile, prefers high quality products.
Yeah, mine was what anyone could glean looking at my purchase history.
