Amazon blocks Meta's Muse AI agent from shopping for users, citing hidden identity and stored credentials

Amazon has banned Meta's Muse AI agent from making purchases on users' behalf, citing that Meta gave no advance notice, Muse doesn't identify itself as an AI agent while browsing, and it captures and stores user credentials—raising privacy and security concerns.
The move signals the start of a platform war over AI agents: platforms don't want to be reduced to a commodity/service layer called by agents, nor to hand over the user entry point.
