well the purpose of congressional hearings isn’t to give you what you want to watch. it’s to get the answers and testimonies, so if they’re avoiding it by saying a bunch of irrelevant crap, they’re going to be interrupted.

At least they are competing. Amazon is actively preventing any competition from happening through unscrupulous and exploitative practices.

moozeecka Yes , any country they enter , they underprice than competition,kills them, only to sell same products for same price as them later. With such market leadership, they can stop new competition at a snap.

@@gurumage9555 I guess the same could be said for the republican party with Gerrymandering and Fillibustering (and a lot more filthy tricks)

i mean, it may sound like a reasonable question, but the sheer volume of the company would make that undoubtedly impossible to answer with confidence. It doesn't make him a bad owner/manager/whatever to not know, it just makes it realistic.

I have a suspicion that these types of weak softball questions are often telling of how intentional and in-authentic these congressional hearings are. I really don't suspect there will be any trust-busting happening anytime soon for these tech giants.

He rephrased it later that - why don't amazon take the responsibility of selling stolen goods. Yes, they have policies to restrict it as much as possible but at the end of the day if stolen goods are being sold on Amazon. Amazon do not take any responsibility even though they earn their margin on it. It all falls on to the seller and customer.

You guys are so simple minded it hurts. This is a "wolf in sheep clothing" question whose purpose is to get Jeff Bezos to say whether or not they have policies in place that properly vet goods before listing them.

He's lying. They don't want to hear his lies when he could have just answered yes or no.

@@bvm437 everything could lead to a lawsuit. So asking yes or no questions is not recommended. The government and the police are trained the same way to make you say something you are not guilty of. The questions are one sided and don't allow the one being questioned to explain oneself, especially if the questions come from people who don't own and run businesses. None of them sitting there would ever dream about making billions in their lifetime, I hear jealousy in their voices as they speak. Read Rich Dad poor Dad by Kiyosaki. Business is a rough game to play and if you don't have a strong backbone you'll lose everything you have built.

@Reginald Jones not all answers are binary, business decisions need to be backed with context to understand why they were taken. And when you're taking decisions at this scale, it's often impossible to satisfy everyone. In that case the decisions need to have a balance for the holistic good. To understand why such decisions were taken you need domain expertise and skills.

Reginald Jones this whole thing shows that congress people know nothing about an online business, you can't just say yes or no for the questions they're trying to make them look bad when they've helped so many start up and small businesses which is something the government can't do. All they do is take way too much income tax.

and ineptitude...when you get to incompetence, you run for President hahaha

Apparently so

Careful what you wish for.

Truly A WTF Moment!

Murica is weird

You guys clearly don't understand how this works. It's like interrogation. He can't answer simple questions at times with a simple answer. He extends it to make it seem like he's saying something but since there is no answer to the question and theyre on a certain time. They cut him off bcs he's just trying to prevent questions

Eduardo Labra I disagree, it is an interrogation, thusly it has an agenda. which is to try to prove him guilty, they are using tactics such as interrupting in order to prevent a full answer

@@zacgraham3327 it's a smart move to get out the lies and see his body language towards certain question. Notice how bezos is smart as well and won't answer questions correctly. Plus they're on a time limit. Bezos is smart and tried to move on with his plan which is extending his answer. That's the reason they cut him off because there are several questions to be asked/answered. Another example is epstein. Look how they ask him questions and see how uncomfortable he gets and tries to "not understand" certain questions. And see how he plead certain amendments to protect himself from saying the wrong things because he knows he will get caught...

Eduardo Labra I think comparing this to the Epstein case is rather far fetched. He won’t answer the questions “correctly” because the questions are predatory in nature. So as he tries to give more context to the situation they will cut him off because he will be able to show that their narrative is not necessarily built on stable ground.

They’re investigating monopoly’s and anti consumer and anti competitor practises. They don’t need to be told the entire business strategy they just want to find out if their information they’ve gathered is correct and if it isn’t. All these companies par-take in anti competitor practises, except for apple for the most part. No one company should have so much user data like Facebook, google and amazon do on their customers.

Brendan Turner but they also did help lots of small business in giving them a way to advertise and sell their products, because it's way harder to start up a real store, and cost way more money and hard work. They helped many people.

That’s what happen when you have thousands of questions from people but have 5mins to ask them.

@@niteshb.2515 you can also think it this way. Right now google is showing the answer to most questions on the result page instead of sending traffic to the pages where they take the answers from.
