While Jeff Bezos spends billions on his 'Earth Fund,' Amazon is reportedly monitoring climate change groups including Greta Thunberg's as potential threats

Leaked documents obtained by Vice show how Amazon keeps a close eye on perceived threats to its business in Europe.

The report is at odds with the public face Amazon shows on climate change. CEO Jeff Bezos has pledged to donate $10 billion to groups focused on the issue. Among the internal documents viewed by Vice were two reports from late 2019 that identified increasingly popular anti-climate change movements in Europe as a potential threat. The documents named Extinction Rebellion, Greenpeace, and Greta Thunberg's group Fridays for Future.

"Wow @amazon, are school children calling to protect the environment that much of a threat to you?" Fridays for FutureSwedish climate activist Greta Thunberg protests during a "Fridays for Future" protest in front of the Swedish Parliament Riksdagen in Stockholm on October 9, 2020.According to the reports, Amazon monitored the social media accounts of these organizations to track their popularity and activity.
