The plaintiff, Charles Sigwalt, who is seeking class-action status, sued Amazon in federal court in Seattle alleging a feature known as “Familiar Faces” retains images of passersby without their consent.

Company and industry sources said over the weekend that the explosion had left the launch pad "practically destroyed" and in need of repairs that engineers expect will disrupt operations for at least six months.

From Europe to Japan and Switzerland, huge bond issues by Big Tech companies are proving that smaller markets, often overshadowed by the U.S., can punch above their weight in the $40 trillion world of corporate debt. Google-parent Alphabet is already one of the biggest outstanding borrowers in the sterling and Swiss franc corporate bond markets, while Amazon raised 14.5 billion euros ($16.88 billion) in March from an eight-part deal, the largest ever in the euro corporate bond market, according to LSEG. Debt issues by so-called "hyperscalers" - or Big Tech companies - outside the United States are part of a push to diversify their funding early on, bankers said, as they look to finance trillions of dollars of investment in AI infrastructure, especially data centers, in the years ahead.
