I'm only using the tools provided, not accessing anything that's clearly pointed out I shouldn't. If anything, that question field is specifically designed for me to use.

If I go to a hardware store and start taking a sledgehammer to the walls "I'm only using the tools provided" is not going to be a valid defense.

Not a good comparison, the sledgehammer isn't meant to be used in the store, the search function in the website is, don't be dumb.

Okay, the hardware store has a saw for customers to cut planks to the length they need. There are many ways they could "misuse the tool provided"

[–] SeabassDan@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

That actually makes a lot more sense, I'll accept that. Although there are signs saying not to misuse the tools provided. Don't see any of that on Amazon. At least not yet.

Knowingly doing something that could be malicious is still malicious.

If that were true we'd see lots more charges on corporate stuff.

You're right on that one. Just seems like they brought it upon themselves.
