Bomb ingredients reportedly in 'frequently bought together' list on Amazon


Amazon's online shopping algorithm can guide users to purchase potentially lethal bomb-making ingredients, according to an investigation by U.K. broadcaster Channel 4.

The news organization said its investigations team had found that Amazon's algorithm guided users to the "necessary chemical combinations" by suggesting other ingredients that could be used to make explosives and incendiary devices.

It found that ingredients that could be used to make such devices were suggested for purchase under the "Frequently bought together" section of Amazon's online marketplace.

For example, "ingredients for black powder and thermite are grouped together under a 'Frequently bought together' section on listings for specific chemicals," Channel 4 News said on its website.
