Amazon is filed a lawsuit Friday against over 1,000 fake reviewers, for tarnishing the brand with "false, misleading and inauthentic" reviews. The defendants in the case purportedly sell their review service on another task-oriented site called Fiverr. One complaint is against a review that says a USB cable "lit up" someone's life. Amazon is beginning to use artificial intelligence to target fake reviews in the future.
