Amazon blocks Meta’s new Muse AI agent from shopping on amazon.com
This is the real story behind Muse's traction: Amazon saw an agent it couldn't control buying things on its platform and shut it down immediately. Meta can ship users, but it can't ship utility if platforms have kill switches. For builders using agents against third-party APIs, this is your warning: platforms will block you if you don't negotiate first. For investors, this shows the tension between agent deployment and platform power is already here, not theoretical. Amazon just drew a line.
