>Amazon has aggressively fought outside companies' efforts to scrape its data. Now, the e-commerce giant is being criticized for adopting the same tactic itself, pulling product listings from other retailers without their consent.
Amazon has been testing a feature that lists products it doesn't sell, showing items from other retailers and brands without their permission. Shoppers who click on these new listings on Amazon.com are redirected to the external sites where the products are sold. Sellers who don't want their products featured can request to have their items be removed, but Amazon doesn't ask retailers to opt in ahead of time.
