Uber: We just facilitate rides between our “independent contractors” and customers. We’re not liable for anything that happens
Amazon: We just facilitate purchases between our “independent retailers” and customers. We’re not liable for anything that happens
AirBnB: We just facilitate rentals between our “independent landlords” and customers. We’re not liable for anything that happens
It’s nice to see the first steps in destroying this completely BS business model. Hopefully this can start a domino effect.

It's ridiculous the current business model has been allowed to exist as long as it has, with these platforms taking all the profit while passing off all the risk and liability.
As a customer, when you buy something from Amazon then as far as you are concerned your relationship is with _Amazon_, not with _'cooltechshop99'_ or whatever the vendor may be.
