Amazon reportedly plans to add a content filter to an internal messaging app in the making and would ban words that reflect the company\u2019s working conditions or pertain to organizing a union, according to internal documents obtained by The Intercept<\/em><\/a>. <\/p>\n

With the filter in place, the app would block or flag messages that include words like \u201cunion,\u201d \u201cslave labor,\u201d \u201cgrievance,\u201d \u201cliving wage,\u201d and more. Oh yeah, it would filter out \u201crestroom,\u201d too (probably to prevent you from telling your coworker you \u201cjust went to the restroom<\/em> in a bottle\u201d<\/a>).<\/p>\n

A source familiar with the situation told The Intercept<\/em> that Amazon executives met in November 2021 to discuss the creation of a social media platform specifically for employees. Dave Clark, Amazon\u2019s head of worldwide consumer business, reportedly suggested the app offer a one-on-one social experience, like the dating app Bumble, rather than serving as a large social hub like Facebook. It would allow employees to highlight each others\u2019 work by creating posts called \u201cShout-Outs.\u201d Amazon would somehow integrate these Shout-Outs into its gamification program<\/a>, which The Intercept<\/em> says already showers employees with virtual stars and badges for their productivity.<\/p>\n
