    Recordings from the home’s smart doorbell appeared to show the delivery driver, whom Mr Jackson said was the same race as him, misheard an automated response from the device asking: “excuse me, can I help you?”

    Seriously, that’s what it was? They’ll ban him for that?

      Yeah. People lying about racism towards them (or as they called it “mishearing”) can ruin other people’s lives. Getting deprived of Amazon services for one week could be considered being lucky if we think about what happens to some people after such false accusations.
