North Carolina businessman Tom Harris wants Amazon to use its powerful shopping platform to help customers put their own sanctions against Russia. FOX13
But to do so, he has to get the attention of the executives at Amazon’s headquarters in Seattle. So, he paid Lamar Outdoor advertising $5,000 to run a billboard at 5th Avenue and Denny Way, six blocks from Amazon HQ.The billboard reads: "Hey Amazon, will you please provide us a FILTER so we can CHOOSE whether to FILTER OUT products from countries that support PUTIN?"’ dripping from the letters that spell Putin.
"I want them to empower individual customers to impose their own personal-level economic sanctions against countries that support and enable Putin. That's my goal," Harris said. He said he has not contacted Amazon directly about his idea, saying, "discussions like that need to be at the top of the corporation."
