[ ala : a small step for man / a big step for
mankind ]
Over the past 3 years, I have sent
many emails to our Policy Makers, describing in considerable details :
“ How to get Big Tech Social Media / E Com portals to directly pay their Users selling their data to advertising companies or using that data for increasing their own sales “
Although , now and then , someone in high position
makes muted noises about the validity / logic of my suggestion , it seems
AMAZON has realized the inevitability of this and
made a small beginning to “ Compensate User “ for their
PERSONAL / PRIVATE DATA ( purchase-history, in this case )
Here is that news :
Amazon
launches a program to pay consumers for their data on non-Amazon purchases / Tech
Crunch / 20 Oct
Extract :
Ø
Amazon has launched a new program that directly pays consumers for information about what they’re purchasing
outside of Amazon.com and for responding to short surveys.
Ø
The program, Amazon
Shopper Panel, asks users to send in 10 receipts per month for any
purchases made at
non-Amazon retailers, including grocery stores, department stores, drug stores
and entertainment outlets (if open), like movie theaters, theme parks and
restaurants.
Ø
Program participants will take advantage of
the newly launched Amazon Shopper Panel mobile app on iOS and Android to take pictures of paper receipts that qualify or they
can opt to forward emailed receipts to receipts@panel.amazon.com to
earn a $10 reward that can then be applied to their Amazon Balance or
used as a charitable donation.
Ø
Amazon says users
can then earn additional
rewards each month for every survey they complete.
Ø
The optional surveys will ask about brands and products that may interest the participant and how likely they are to purchase a product. Other surveys
may ask what the shopper thinks of an ad. These rewards may vary, depending on
the survey.
Ø
Amazon claims it will delete any sensitive
information from the receipts users upload, like prescription information. But it doesn’t delete users’
personal information, instead storing it in accordance with its existing Privacy Policy. It will allow users to delete their previously uploaded
receipts, if they choose.

Dear Shri RaviShankar Prasadji,
It will take years for 140 OECD member countries to
reach any consensus on “ taxing “ Big Tech
And what is the point of being able to collect Rs
10,000 Cr worth tax ( after 5 years of litigation ) – and then being able to
use it for Social Welfare measures ?
My following suggestion , when implemented ,
will earn 400 million Indian Users of GAFA , Rs 30,000 per month , deposited directly into their
Jan Dhan Bank accounts
Please, do NOT lose any time to implement :
