The dispute between the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) and Amazon, which started earlier this year when the privacy group nixed its book distribution deal with the e-tailer, is continuing, with EPIC now urging government agencies of the need to investigate . . . . The dispute between the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) and Amazon, which started earlier this year when the privacy group nixed its book distribution deal with the e-tailer, is continuing, with EPIC now urging government agencies of the need to investigate Amazon's operations. This time EPIC appears to be pulling no punches, saying that government agencies should investigate the e-tailer in both the US and the UK, charging violations of trade practices and data protection laws. In a letter just sent to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), EPIC and Junkbusters have asked the FTC to determine whether Amazon.com deceived its US customers by changing its privacy policy to permit disclosure of personal customer information. Both privacy organizations allege that the changes are inconsistent with Amazon's previous statements that it would "never" disclose customer information to third parties and are therefore deceptive and illegal under the US FTC Act. The link for this article located at NewsBytes is no longer available. . The Electronic Privacy Information Center calls for inquiries into Amazon's handling of data and potential trade infractions in both the United States and the United Kingdom..
