Two families are suing Amazon after they tragically lost their children to suicide. The legal filing states that the children bought a deadly, highly potent, and pure chemical from Amazon. To make matters worse, Amazon even recommended an assisted suicide handbook to customers who put the chemical in their cart. Amazon’s algorithm contributed to the death of these two children, and it is time that this company takes responsibility.

Amazon’s algorithm gives users recommendations based on what they are looking at. In this case, those recommendations included a scale to measure chemical doses, anti-vomiting medication, and an Amazon Edition of an assisted suicide handbook.
Although the damage is done, Amazon needs to take accountability and make sure that this never happens again.
Sign this petition to demand Amazon apologize to the families of the children and help them financially while also stopping the algorithm from capitalizing on mental illness and tragedy in the future!
