Amazon Bans Poorly made USB Type C cables

USB C cables the new configuration of USB cable that is reversible and prevents you from plugging you from plugging in the coble incorrectly. Google engineer Benson Leung, has been on u crusade to prevent shoddy manufacturersof USB Ccables from marketing their productson Amazon. 

Amazon.com has added non-standardized USB Type-C cables to its "Prohibited listings" for the Electronics section of their site. In other words, at last, non-compliant USB-C cables, which can damage or shut down a device entirely, will be banned from sale on Amazon. This is a policy update though, and Amazon will need to police its seller community and shut down any who continue to offer non-compliant cables.

There has been issues with these shoddy cables actually damaging devices that they are plugged into. Hopefully Amazon and other marketing sites will continue to monitor these products so that consumers won't have to suffer damage to thin electronics caused by these rogue cables!
