BIG NEWS FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN CORPORATE ACCOUNTABILITY:
The New York Times reports, "The Federal Trade Commission and 17 states
sued Amazon, saying its conduct in its online store and services to
merchants illegally stifled competition."
The lawsuit accuses Amazon of using its unique power to monitor which
products are best sellers -- and then replicating those products,
promoting their own version to customers, and driving the little guy out
of business.
Today, we are joining with 30 other organizations in saying THANK YOU to
FTC Chair Lina Khan and the bipartisan Attorneys General who are
fighting for competition and accountability in the marketplace.
