Motorola Smart Feed allegedly hijacking Amazon app launches for affiliate codes
“Your phone may be opening Amazon through a hidden affiliate funnel.”
Why It Matters
The phone in your pocket as a quiet affiliate-marketing agent. Device ownership gets weird when OEM bloatware can skim intent.
Evidence
9to5Google replication via TechRadar/Cybernews/Android Authority coverage; Reddit origin.
Caveat
Needs careful wording: "reported/alleged/replicated by outlets," not a legal conclusion about theft or intent.
