I hate Amazon and Bezos probably more than anyyone else here... But how are we peasants to know who is on terrorist watch lists? I used to sell on eBay and from several little webstores of my own.
The Federal government never sent me a list of people I’m not allowed to do business with. Do they send them to bigger businesses like Amazon, so that they know?
I can see where businesses that sell that require an export license or are ITAR items, would be required to know who they are selling to, but a regular retail business....
How many people on the watch lists buy at the grocery store? Is Safeway going to be in trouble for selling them stuff?
Look up OFAC list. I think there are still free methods to query it.
