This is a message on Amazon Mechanical Turk work site: The EU has recently implemented the DAC7 directive that requires us to report MTurk workers’ taxable income. To be in compliance with this directive, please complete a DAC7 tax interview no later than February 28, 2023. If we do not have your tax information by then, you may be ineligible to continue to use the MTurk platform, which could also result in withheld payments.
I’ve not seen it on any other click workers’ platforms nor on etsy, ebay either. Is Amazon now a taxing agent for the European Union to collect taxes on American citizens? Something’s wrong here.

When you consider the government contracts Amazon has, it’s pretty clear the company is, for all practical purposes, becoming a surveillance and enforcement agency of the U.S. federal government.
