Amazon customer service agents denied requests citing 'privacy' or 'security' reasons, refused to comply even when law enforcement submitted authorized requests on behalf of victims, and when records were shared, they were provided outside the required 30-day window. Under the proposed settlement order, Amazon must provide lawfully requested records within 30 days and notify consumers who requested records since April 2024 but never received them. This follows a pattern of regulatory penalties for Amazon, including a $25 million fine for Alexa children's privacy violations and a $2.5 billion Prime membership lawsuit settlement. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
