Amazon just ToS’d Meta’s shopping ghost
“Your AI went to buy tank tops. Amazon asked to see its ID.”
The Story
Amazon blocked Meta’s Muse agent from Amazon.com with an “unauthorized AI agent” conditions-of-use warning. Amazon says Muse did not identify itself and appeared to store credentials; Meta says the agent never sees passwords or cards.
Why It Matters
Checkout is becoming a border where the storefront checks whether its visitor is human.
