Amazon Sued Over Alleged Privacy Policy Violations

Amazon is being sued for privacy policy violations and all this time no one noticed? Seems a bit odd. On a related note, Friday sure seems like "the" day to file a lawsuit, doesn't it?

"For years, Amazon has been taking visitors' personal information that it was not entitled to take," the lawsuit states. "It does so by misusing privacy-protection software on users' own computers, bending the software to Amazon's purpose of collecting more personal information than it had a right to collect or that users have given it consent to collect."
