literally no way to contact @AmazonUK unless you log into your account, which is impossible according to the email they sent me but won't reply to. I'm just trying to delete my account, what a nightmare

"The boy kings of Silicon Valley love a good algorithm and I get why: lack of accountability. Intentionally pulling the plug on s/o who’s trolling women on your service is a decision. It requires agency, leadership, and a point of view. Say it, @monteiro. monteiro.substack.com/
