    Then the responsible journalists wouldn’t publish the story.

    My concern isn’t the story, it’s the “hiding a tracking device in an order with an anonymous party”. That’s an invasion of privacy no matter who it’s done to. You’re presumably only okay with it because you dislike who it was done to, which is why I’m asking you to consider it without hindsight. What if it were done to someone other than Amazon? Do you still support that invasion of privacy? Why or why not?

      Amazon isn’t a person, no corporation is. They should be subject to far more exposure.

        They didn’t know it was Amazon when they hid a tracking device in someone’s order. They suspected, only.

        What if it had been a small bookstore, or just some collector? Do you approve of those people being tracked?

        Are you really not seeing this, or are you pretending to not get it?
