[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 5614039, member: 12952"] Anyone want to comment on who this Amazon driver might be ? [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.zerohedge.com/political/amazon-locks-man-out-smart-device-over-false-racism-claims[/URL] Amazon locked a Microsoft engineer out of his smart home devices [B]for nearly a week[/B] after a delivery driver accused him of uttering a racial slur. [B]I was told that the driver who had delivered my package reported receiving racist remarks from my ‘Ring doorbell.[/B]'" Jackson, who is black, said that the accusation was improbable, as many of the delivery drivers in his area are the same race - thus, the racial slur was "highly unlikely." Jackson tracked down the time that the driver would have dropped off his package (May 24 at 6:05 p.m.), and compared it to footage from his home at the time of the incident - revealing that [B]nobody was home[/B] at the time of the delivery. Instead, Jackson thinks that his Eufy automated doorbell said to the driver "Excuse me, can I help you?" "The driver, who was walking away and wearing headphones, must have misinterpreted the message," wrote Jackson, adding that [B]even after he shared the evidence with Amazon, his account remained locked[/B]. "Despite numerous calls and emails, it wasn’t until Friday afternoon [on May 26] that I received confirmation that the investigation had started," he wrote, adding that it wasn't until [B]May 31[/B] that access was finally restored.
