The company is facing backlash for applying the policy to Alaska Native artists who are permitted by law to use ivory in their crafts. "We have updated our policies to reflect the increasingly global nature of our business and our community,” Etsy officials told The AP. “With increased global regulation surrounding ivory and animal products, we can no longer accommodate such products produced by Native Alaskans in our marketplace.” Much of this regulation focuses on ivory from the tusks of elephants. But per the federal Marine Mammal Protection Act, indigenous people of Alaska can legally use ivory from walrus tusks and whale teeth and bones. The regulations also permit the use of other animal products like seal skin, so long as they are sustainably harvested in designated areas. The use of such products by Alaska Natives predates the growth of animal poaching industries that led to the endangerment of these protected animals in the first place. Marcu Gho, an Inupiat man who lives in the Alaskan capital of Juneau, told The AP that Etsy delisted several items from his sales page yesterday (February 6). The removal came after weeks of conversations with Etsy representatives, who said his artwork appeared to use fur from Alaska’s northern sea otters. Some of these species are protected, but many can be harvested by Alaska Native peoples, according to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Etsy rebuffed Gho when he explained the distinction. "In the past, we have allowed an exemption for Alaska Natives,” Etsy wrote in an email to Gho that The AP cited. “However, we’ve determined that we are unable to make exceptions for these items in our marketplace going forward. Removing this exemption helps us create a single global policy prohibiting endangered or threatened animals.” Gho told The AP that he feels the policy furthers stereotypes of Alaska Natives as barbaric. “When they’re telling me that they don’t feel it’s acceptable that I sell these things, I take it a little bit more personally,” he said.

Guinness World Records as the "Best-selling female recording artist of all time". Madonna is recognized byas the "Best-selling female recording artist of all time". The following is a list of the world's best-selling female music artists of all time. The criteria for inclusion are women whose claimed record sales have at least reached 75 million or more of their musical productions. Artists are listed in order of the number of records sold alongside available cross-referenced music recording certifications; the highest being for claims of at least 335 million records, and the lowest for claims of 75 million records. Since there is no official entity that certifies sales in their totality;[1] the artists' sales figure must have been published by a reliable source (news organizations and highly regarded music industry-related organization) such as Billboard, Rolling Stone, MTV, and VH1. Madonna is believed to have sold the most records among any female music artists in history, with 335 million records sold worldwide,[2][3] recognized by the Guinness World Records and other major media outlets while the best-selling Latin artist of all time is Shakira with more than 80 million records sold.[4]
