Amazon Just Deleted my Complete Account — “For my Privacy”

Don’t do the things I just did — Learn from my mistakes

Amazon just made sure my account can’t be hacked.

By completely deleting it.

Why?

The initial reason was an infringement on the copyright conditions.

Amazon doesn’t allow you to use Unsplash images, even when you link to the creator in an Ebook. Or images that are widely available on the internet.

Of course, these two things are entirely different, but to be sure, I deleted all of the images in my latest Ebook.

And then asked the behemoth of content to put my humble store with four books online again.

And then things started to get a helluva lot worse.

Learn from my story so you can avoid being cast into exile by Jeff Bezos’s A.I platform and see hundreds of hours of work go up in smoke.
