Amazon is limiting access to customer reviews for some shoppers. Since late 2025, users have reported that reviews are less visible or unavailable. Amazon attributes the issue to a bot detection system intended to prevent unauthorized data scraping. The company has not disclosed how many customers are affected or which specific behaviors trigger the flags. Amazon has not responded to inquiries about the scope of the restriction or its impact on sales. The measure is part of broader efforts to protect the marketplace from automated abuse. The situation remains unresolved as Amazon may adjust its detection criteria.
