I don't love the idea that one dude could shut down God knows how many websites.

I don't particularly like Bezos to be totally honest. That much wealth and power concentrated in one person ain't good.

Bezos is the richest man in the world. You don't fuck with someone with those kinds of resources and someone who has made it to that level is not going to just cave into threats.

Pecker and his company screwed up bigtime and it is going to cost them dearly.
