Amazon blocks Meta's Muse AI agent from shopping on its e-commerce platform
Amazon has blocked Meta's new AI agent, Muse, from making purchases and accessing its e-commerce platform. The move prevents Muse from shopping on Amazon.com on behalf of users. This action follows a reported request from Amazon to Meta to remove its platform from the Muse AI agent experience, which Meta reportedly rejected. Amazon cited security concerns, unauthorized access, and violations of its platform terms, including Muse not identifying itself as a bot, as reasons for the block. The decision highlights a growing tension between major tech companies over the future of agentic commerce and control over online marketplaces. While Amazon has taken a restrictive stance, other platforms like Shopify have reportedly welcomed Meta's Muse.
