Amazon attacks EU privacy watchdog it claims ‘was out to get it’
The e-commerce giant told a local court in Luxembourg that watchdogs fired off unfounded accusations that the firm trampled on the privacy rights of customers
Amazon.com Inc. hit back at regulators who slapped it with a then-record European Union privacy fine of €746 million ($814 million), claiming their aim was punishment rather than protecting people’s data.
The ecommerce giant told a local court in Luxembourg — where the firm has its regional hub — that watchdogs went on the attack rather than seek an amicable solution and fired off unfounded accusations that the firm trampled on the privacy rights of customers.
