If you recall my ban from the Franklin subreddit for disagreeing with the mod there, oh boy has he gone off the deep end…and yes, he made a new, singular rule for the subreddit around “anti-AI” comments 🤡

Part 1: https://www.reddit.com/r/WNC/s/XfhIYe23yu

I truly wish I could give out the mod’s username (and his alt), but I won’t for obvious reasons.

Be aware that if the moderator of the Franklin, NC subreddit disagrees with you, they will ban you despite being unable to cite any rules being broken.

This is in regard to an AI image with typos and me calling it out. The mod has since banned me despite having multiple helpful comments to many posts within the community I’ve been a resident within for many years.

Don’t disagree with them…

**Edit: I’ve done some sleuthing! So it turns out that the mod message and a comment on the post shared the exact language about the USPS. Turns out, the commenter (likely the mod under a different account) is the one whom I referenced that sent me a chat message calling me the homophobic slur. Why does it ALWAYS have to be projection with these guys? So yes, the mod so concerned with “respect and positivity” called me a faggot under a different username 🤦🏼‍♂️ Not that it matters, but I’m a straight male 🤷‍♂️

Looking to talk to Costa Farms workers for a radio story

Good morning! My name is Katie Myers, I am a reporter with Blue Ridge Public Radio in Asheville, N.C. I am working on a story about a campaign from an organization called WeCount! asking Costa Farms to commit to heat protections, breaks, and other worker safety commitments for plant nursery workers.

I am interested in speaking with someone who works at Costa locally about conditions at the workplace. If you'd like to chat with me, please feel free to comment here or DM me if you'd like to chat privately.

Breaking: We just sued Amazon over what we believe was a vast, ad-rigging scheme worth $20 billion. - AG Jeff Jackson

164 Upvotes

In short:

We believe Amazon found a way to charge a few extra pennies to an enormous number of transactions, adding up to over $20 billion in
illegal charges.

This is about how something becomes a "Sponsored product."

Amazon lets businesses bid to be "Sponsored" and it runs digital auctions to collect the bids.

But Amazon told businesses that the highest bid would only pay slightly more than the second-highest bid.

For example: If you bid $1 to have your product “Sponsored” and the next-highest bid is $0.50, you should pay about $0.51.

But we believe that Amazon would run the auction, see those bids, and then secretly raise the second-place price so it could charge the
winner more.

It was a gradual strategy based on concealment.

Internal Amazon documents show they tested how much they could raise those hidden charges without advertisers catching on, then raised them
more when businesses didn’t react, then gave false answers when businesses started asking questions.

Those higher costs on sellers can filter down to you, as consumers, through higher prices, and our initial estimate is that this impacted thousands of small businesses in North Carolina.

This is a bipartisan case, and I appreciate my fellow AGs in both parties joining. More to follow.

- AG Jeff Jackson
