The new excerpts unveiled Thursday allege executives at the e-commerce giant intentionally deleted communication by using a feature on the popular app Signal that makes messages disappear. By doing this, the FTC said Amazon “destroyed more than two years” worth of communications from June 2019 to “at least early 2022” despite instructions it gave Amazon not to do so.

In a prepared statement Amazon spokesperson Tim Doyle called the FTC’s claim “baseless and irresponsible.”

So..... Throw them in jail? Make them accountable? Revoke the companies ability to do business till the records are provided?

Then again, that's just fantasy because the laws don't matter if you're Rick/big enough anymore.
