Report | Eyes Everywhere, Part 2: Amazon’s Surveillance Infrastructure and Revitalizing a Fair Marketplace

Open Markets Institute’s latest report, “Eyes Everywhere: Amazon’s Surveillance Infrastructure and Revitalizing a Fair Marketplace,” is an extensive rundown of the predatory, exclusionary, and unfair practices that Amazon implements to surveil its competitors and consumers. The report is a sequel to “Eyes Everywhere: Amazon’s Surveillance Infrastructure and Revitalizing Worker Power,” our September 2020 report on Amazon’s pervasive surveillance of workers.

This report, authored by Daniel Hanley, senior legal analyst, makes a fervent pitch about the need for fast and strong action against Amazon’s vast array of predatory surveillance tactics and technologies.

Along with documenting the scale and scope of Amazon’s consumer and competitor surveillance operations and their adverse effects on competition and individual welfare, the report provides a series of recommendations for policy actions.
