Amazon stops accepting new customers for Mechanical Turk

Amazon has announced it will stop accepting new customers for Mechanical Turk, its long-running crowdsourcing platform that allowed businesses to outsource small tasks to a global workforce. The move may signal the beginning of the end for one of the earliest gig-economy micro-task platforms. Existing users will reportedly be able to continue using the service.

Is Amazon right to stop accepting new Mechanical Turk customers?
