Amazon works to keep details of Project Kuiper private.

Amazon is suing a group in Washington state. Amazon doesn't want this group to give information to The Washington Post. The Washington Post is a newspaper owned by Jeff Bezos, who started Amazon.

The information is about a project called Project Kuiper. Project Kuiper wants to use satellites to provide internet. Amazon says the information is secret and could hurt the company if others knew about it.

The Washington state group got the information while looking at an Amazon facility. They were there to check on worker safety. The Washington Post asked for the information, but Amazon wants to keep some of it secret.

Amazon says it doesn't want to keep everything secret. It only wants to protect the names of its workers and its technology. Amazon and the Washington state group have worked together before, but they have also disagreed about worker safety.

Last year, Amazon was accused of not keeping workers safe at one of its warehouses. Amazon won that case, but the state group was planning to fight the decision. In a separate announcement, Amazon said it would be letting go of some workers in its communication department.
