My moral compass has significantly fewer points on than those who insist on telling others how to live. Compasses vary.

Folks may be missing an important point. The algorithm is based on buying trends indicating many folks buying all these items are in fact buying parts to assemble a bomb. It is showing buying trends.Yes, as I noted appears to be a UK thing. It's not about Amazon, it is about the motives of the purchasers, though I'm not sure there's much I'd want to do about that. And how stupid to order these things from Amazon.

WAP, even loosely followed, is about the healthiest you can eat. This dentist from 100+ years ago understood our symbiosis with bacteria and our bodily need for clean, real food to build and heal itself.

As others have pointed out, the Amazon algorithm has no 'intelligence' - it is simply putting forward suggestions
based on what others have been searching for and buying on amazon.co.uk.
It is no surprise therefore that even the BBC now admits
UK 'biggest audience' in Europe for jihadist web content
One would like to hope that MI5 and the police are tapping Amazon for the IDs of those buyers so that they can be sent on expensive "de-radicalisation" programmes just the like one last week's failed London tube bomber was sent on. /s
