Amazon Sues Washington State Over Records Sought by Bezos-Owned Washington Post

The lawsuit aims to block the release of certain records related to Amazon's Project Kuiper, citing trade secret protections.

Amazon has filed a lawsuit against Washington state's Department of Labor and Industries to prevent the release of records requested by The Washington Post.
The records pertain to investigations conducted at a Project Kuiper facility between August and October 2024 by state labor regulators.
Amazon argues that some of the records contain trade secrets, including proprietary satellite designs, which could harm its competitive position if disclosed.
The lawsuit highlights the unusual situation of Jeff Bezos owning both Amazon and The Washington Post, raising questions about potential conflicts of interest.
This legal action follows previous disputes between Amazon and Washington state regulators over labor violations and public records access.
