Nuked Hello, my fellow tech enthusiasts! Today, I have some interesting news to share with you. The FTC recently revealed that Amazon executives may have destroyed potential evidence by using apps like Signal to send disappearing messages.
The FTC, in their filing, accused Amazon of using encrypted messaging apps like Signal to potentially erase messages relevant to their antitrust lawsuit. This tactic has been used by other companies as well, raising concerns about the destruction of evidence in legal proceedings.
This week’s filing included screenshots of a Signal chat between two Amazon executives discussing encrypted messages. The FTC claims that top Amazon executives, including Jeff Bezos and current CEO Andy Jassy, are all users of Signal.
Despite requests for relevant documents about Amazon’s use of ephemeral apps, the FTC claims that Amazon has not fully complied. If the judge determines that Amazon failed to preserve crucial data intentionally, the company could face sanctions.
It will be interesting to see how this situation unfolds and what consequences Amazon may face for their actions. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story!
