Report Series | Eyes Everywhere: Amazon’s Pervasive Surveillance

Amazon is a surveillance corporation, first and foremost.

Monitoring of all its dependents—from workers to competitors to consumers—is a fundamental aspect of the corporation’s operations. It uses invasive tracking tactics to enable and facilitate its predatory conduct and fortify its monopoly power.

Our “Eyes Everywhere” report series illustrates the dangers of Amazon’s various surveillance practices and examines the solutions available.



Exposing Amazon’s abuse of these invasive surveillance practices and the subsequent harms is just one part of the solution—it’s up to our government agencies, enforcers, and leaders to take action now to stop such corporate abuse.
