Judge blocks Perplexity's bot Amazon shopping in early test of agentic commerce

I've been saying this for a while now. Agentic network activity is indistinguishable from malware. This ruling is merely the opening salvo in a torrent of impending litigation which will tear the Internet apart.

Didn't have to be this way, and I'm hardly an Amazon sympathizer (in fact I boycott the company)…but they are definitely setting a worthy precedent here against the incredible myopic greed of AI vendors.
