Unless proven otherwise I assume any delete button in 2026 is just

    UPDATE tracking_data
    SET shown_in_interface = false
    WHERE account_name = 'm463'

How many shadow accounts do you think Amazon has to try and track people who don't have an Amazon account?

One reason privacy laws are a joke. We are not tracking you directly, indirectly and in accordance with the law.

I would assume it’s worse

“SET pretend_to_hide_due_to_customer_shame = true”, lol.

No way they’d not use THAT as a training metric too.
