Consumer-rights body SDBN has filed a lawsuit against the tech company that mirrors a previous penalty, this time aiming to win damages for consumers.

A consumer-rights group in the Netherlands sued Amazon on Wednesday over its alleged practice of tracking website visitors’ online activity, using recently expanded legal provisions allowing class actions.

The lawsuit, filed in a Dutch court by the Stichting Data Bescherming Nederland, or SDBN, said Amazon is violating the European Union’s privacy law by monitoring visitors to popular websites through cookies, the pieces of code that identify individual browsers to create targeted advertisements, without their permission.

    I hope the EU can one day sue the fuck out of Meta, Alphabet, Microsoft & Amazon to the point that they go bankrupt and no other company dares to take the same path.

    I also would like to ride a unicorn underwater.
