Mega-Miller Jeff Bezos has so many things that his investment effectively waging war with each other. Earlier this week, the E-Commerce Company of the Bezos (Amazon) launched a case against a state-owned government for revenge against Washington Post, which Bezos also possesses.

The case, Filed by the Amazon against the Ministry of Labor and the Washington Ministry, asks the government not to comply with the request for public records from the publication on a recent probe in one of its facilities. Kuiper project is a private satellite network managed by Amazon, which the e -commerce giant uses to sell broadband services to various customers.

Amazon claims he is not trying to censor reporting the newspaper owned by his founder. Instead, it is said that he is trying to prevent the revelation of trade secrets that would cause critically harm his business if published. “Amazon does not seek to prevent all requested records,” the case said. “More recently, Amazon seeks to protect a subset of records that contain trade secrets,” as defined by law. “The release of this own information would immediately hurt Amazon in such a way that monetary damage would be insufficient to make Amazon whole.”

The lawsuit also illustrates the way the Washington State Government and Amazon have effectively collaborated on media records before.
