(No explanation will be offered at this time.) None of those things were made by Amazon; they all came from third-party sellers whose names I didn’t recognize — or even look at, until preparing to write this newsletter. When choosing my zester I relied on the thousands of five-star reviews other customers had left on the product page. “This little guy packs a big punch in the kitchen,” Earthbaby87 had written. “It’s perfect.” I trusted that Earthbaby87 was looking out for me — though maybe I shouldn’t have.

When people get hurt by products sold on Amazon — when a laptop battery explodes or a toy hoverboard catches fire — the company has adopted a strategy common among tech platforms, arguing that it is not liable for damages because it’s only a conduit. “There has been much discussion in recent years of the fact that existing laws exempt Google and Facebook and Twitter from liability for user-generated content, even when that content is false or promotes harassment,” Weigel writes. “Amazon has [used the same law](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRkRR4YP0TqaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubGV4b2xvZ3kuY29tL2xpYnJhcnkvZGV0YWlsLmFzcHg_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzkmZW1jPWVkaXRfdHlfMjAyMjA0MjImZz1iODgzOWE2OS02YzQ5LTQwZDAtOWM5Yy04N2NjMGFjM2ExNzYmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9NTkxNjImbmw9b3Bpbmlvbi10b2RheSZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9ODk5NDAmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmJhGJliYstXDhdSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) to argue that it is not responsible for false claims by third parties who sell things on its site.” Should The Everything Store be responsible for everything it sells?
