Amazon’s “Airpods” Topic Becomes a Twitter Trend in the UK – The appearance of Racist messages on several Amazon products and the message sparked anger on Twitter, with the topic “AirPods” trending in the UK. “Being Black now is difficult enough,” wrote Nadine White, a journalist. “We don’t need to be called N-word when shopping online, to boot.”
The pictures came as Amazon faced greater scrutiny of third-party market unrest, sales from which made more than half of its retail revenue.
With screenshots and video shows from trending on Twitter, users share images. Lists with abusive messages are no longer visible on the Amazon UK website and it is unclear how long they were there.
Buyers who use the Amazon site facing England and the list of applications found have replaced product images with rude messages that contain several examples of N-words.
On Sunday morning the picture does not appear on the Amazon UK website. An Amazon spokesman said that he had deleted the picture “and has taken action on bad actors.” It is not clear who the bad actors are, and whether there are security breaches involved.
Instead of photos of headphones, search results show images that contain N-words. Amazon said it had removed racist language images from several headphone listings on its British website, The Financial Times reported. Users post screenshots to Twitter on search results for “AirPods” and “bluetooth headphones” that appear on e-commerce sites.
The list appears to be limited to the English site, and appears on the pages of new Amazon sellers, most of which have little or no customer reviews.
Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN.O) said it had deleted certain images after messages using very strong racist abuse appeared on several listings on its UK website when users searched for Apple AirPods (AAPL.O) and other similar products.
“We are deleting the pictures and have taken action against the evil actor,” said an Amazon spokesman but he did not elaborate on “evil actors”.
