　　8. After H&M, Amazon is also in trouble! This time it is suspected of supporting slavery

　　Recently, H&M apologized for suspected racial discrimination on green sweatshirt advertising, and now Amazon is in dire straits because a children's clothing line seems to be supporting slavery. The e-commerce giant has removed some products with the slogan "slavery gets shit done". Amazon says the products are sold by third-party sellers. An Amazon spokesperson said: "All sellers on the platform should follow our sales guidance, otherwise we will take some measures, including freezing the seller's account. The platform has removed these products at present." Products with this slogan mainly include T-shirts, mugs, baby bibs, handbags and sweaters. Amazon policies strictly prohibit sellers from selling “products that will arouse hatred, violent tendencies, racial discrimination, sexual discrimination or religious discrimination.” (Source: Hugo.com)
