FTA:
"When that happens, Amazon may take one of several actions. It may block access to the competitor’s site, preventing customers from viewing comparable products from rivals. It might redirect the customer to Amazon’s own site or to other, Amazon-approved sites."
How is blocking and redirecting traffic NOT tampering?
- kbutler 9y agoIt's standard operating procedure for network filters - redirecting inappropriate content requests to a "this site is not allowed" page. As long as you're not being deceptive (e.g., inserting your own content, changing other content, changing prices), blocking and redirecting is probably fine.
