EXTENDED / SUB-TOPIC (OPTIONAL)
In Amazon but not only, the whole non-transparent stuff needs to change for corporations.
It's a major lock-out / choke-point and increasing humanitarian issue as ALGORITHM ARE POLITICAL and part of individual+corporate+government decision-making (Iran (the government) just blocked Signal communication for uprising happening allegedly).
