So a Amazon driver said he heard racist comments while delivering a package and reported it to Amazon and Amazon shut down his "smart home".
In the end the home owner wasn't even home and the driver "mistakenly" misheard the guys doorbell. But it doesn't take away from the fact Amazon shut down his services just because a god damn delivery driver made a baseless accusation.
Since when are retailers like Amazon allowed to just turn off someone's private services because some random delivery person makes a complaint that has 0 proof or credibility? Even if it was credible how is it Amazon is allowed to reach into someone's personal life without even bothering to contact authorities or even contact the individual?
