On Wednesday Senators Sherrod Brown and Ron Wyden demanded Amazon stop spying on workers' social media posts, as well as workers who may be trying to unionize. The move comes after Motherboard revealed the existence of the so-called Advocacy Operations Social Listening Team, a group inside Amazon that methodically monitored the closed Facebook groups of Amazon Flex Drivers.

"The magnitude of this surveillance, the lengths to which Amazon went to keep it hidden from your own workers, and its admitted purpose are extremely disturbing and are indicative of just how much of a threat Amazon perceives its own workers to be," the senators wrote in a letter to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.
