Motorola slid affiliate codes into your Amazon orders, now states this was 'unintended'

Motorola said some Android devices mistakenly routed Amazon Shopping launches through a web tracking link.

The issue was tied to its preinstalled Smart Feed / Moto App Launcher experience, not an intentional affiliate scheme.

In one report, the redirect appeared to point toward a fake influencer-linked affiliate path.

Motorola says the configuration problem has been corrected, but the incident raises trust concerns around preinstalled apps and affiliate-link handling.
