Apple bans, at Amazon’s request, app that reveals fake Amazon reviews
Apple complied. ...
Amazon has requested that Apple delete from its App Store the app Fakespot, a popular service that tries to uncover false reviews on Amazon.
Khalifah, the founder, and CEO of Fakespot is on the opposite side of the argument, claiming that Amazon is mistaken and that many of its claims are unfounded. On Friday, Khalifah talked with Gizmodo over the phone and dismissed Amazon’s allegation that it might steal customers’ personal information “total nonsense,” saying that the firm does not and never would profit by selling user data.
Indeed, the concerns expressed by Khalifah are more than simply words. Amazon has long been swamped with false reviews, as well as phony items, some of which are genuinely harmful. Sadly, those fraudulent items, as well as the phony evaluations that support them, have now become a bit more difficult to identify for Apple customers.

Amazon.com Inc has been repeatedly accused of knocking off products it sells on its website and of exploiting its vast trove of internal data to promote its own merchandise at the expense of other sellers.
