"Hindi, Tagalog, Spanish, Arabic, French, Mandarin, Korean, Japanese or Brazilian Portuguese"
Anyway, here's a good summary of the issue: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/09/01/amazon-seeks-intelligence-analyst-to-track-labor-organizing-threats.html

Which commercial databases and analysis software do they use for investigations? For example, Thomson Reuters CLEAR & IBM i2.
