More than two dozen civil organizations and advocacy groups are calling on the Federal Trade Commission to block Amazon’s $1.7 billion acquisition of Roomba maker iRobot. If allowed to go through, the advocates warn the deal could “endanger fair competition,” and jeopardize consumer privacy.

Fight for the Future, Public Citizen, and Athena were among the 26 organizations that sent an open letter to the FTC’s five commissioners on Friday. The groups view Amazon’s acquisition of iRobot, which they described as a “competing smart home device business” as an anti-competitive action that could harm the overall consumer technology market.
