calling a pervasive employee surveillance system an AI chatbot is burying the lede and also really fucking stupid

important safety/security concern if you have an accessible amazon wishlist and especially if you use it to receive things from internet people or other strangers: you can no longer disable sharing your address with third party sellers. These folks can and often do disclose it to the purchaser.

And, to be clear, anyone can be a third party seller on Amazon which means anyone can get your physical shipping address and full name with ease.

Despite what this email says, the Amazon list page says this functionality is already disabled thus you are already at risk ("This setting will no longer be supported starting February 25, 2026. After this date, third-party sellers will receive your shipping address to fulfill orders.")

This is bad. If you have any hope for privacy and do not use a PO Box, make sure to unshare your lists.

the thing everyone’s first thought was “well you had to have done something to make her act like that”

fucking hell

I won’t say the manager of that grocery store was transmisogynistic but I will say I’ve only ever been treated that way by people who are. Same playbook: fake being offended, calling me aggressive (basic bitch darvo handbook page 14), and capping it off by directly misgendering me and immediately hanging up.
