Senators Demand FTC Probe into Walmart, Amazon Chatbot Data Practices

Senators have urged the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate data collection practices by Walmart and Amazon's chatbots, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal.

The move comes as concerns about consumer privacy and the use of personal data by tech companies continue to grow. The senators are reportedly concerned that the chatbots may be collecting sensitive information from customers without their consent or adequate transparency.

Walmart and Amazon have not commented on the matter, but experts say that the FTC has a history of taking action against companies that engage in deceptive data collection practices.
