Amazon answer according to the article is :

> Unfortunately, [the ruling] means we have no other choice than to extend the temporary suspension of activity in our French distribution centers while we assess the best way to operate with regards to the court of appeal’s decision

So I'm not sure how it's related to what you say. There are a lot of similar businesses that can continue shipping as usual and I would be very surprised if the Law has checked all of them for safety measures respect. It is highly probable that many of them don't do things correctly yet nobody cares. In the end this is typical of the French government hypocrisy that is going for the big (foreign) one just for the sake of symbolism. Cdiscount is a huge French Amazon clone that can still operate as usual, I can bet some of their employees are also at risk.

This is just the latest of their comments. Here is an article from earlier this month: http://www.rfi.fr/en/france/20200416-amazon-close-french-dis...

The relevant part:

> The company said the closure would affect “millions of clients who use our services to have products delivered to their homes during this confinement period” as well as "employees and small and medium sized businesses" that use the company.

Regarding inspection of other companies, please refer to my answer to js4ever in the same thread.

EDIT : also, "others do just as bad" is never a good defense.
