- Amazon price falls on Tuesday after the EU Commission prepares new draft rules that could prescribe heavy fines for tech companies.
Tech stocks are feeling the heat this Tuesday, with Amazon down by 0.59% after new draft EU rules were announced on Tuesday seeking to reign in the control that tech companies have over user data.

investigation. The French data regulator, Commission nationale de l’informatique et des libertés (CNIL) imposed fines of 35 million Euros on Amazon Europe Core, accusing it of putting advert cookies into computers of its users without their prior consent.
