US trade commission files anti-trust lawsuit against online retailer Amazon
|
[Aljazeera] The United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has filed a long-anticipated anti-trust lawsuit against online retailer Amazon, accusing the company of harming consumers by stifling competition.
The lawsuit, which was joined by 17 state attorneys general and filed in Amazon’s home state of Washington, follows a four-year investigation.
"The FTC and its state partners say Amazon’s actions allow it to stop rivals and sellers from lowering prices, degrade quality for shoppers, overcharge sellers, stifle innovation, and prevent rivals from fairly competing against Amazon," the FTC said in a statement on Tuesday.
In laying out its charges, the FTC alleged that Amazon had engaged in unfair tactics to "illegally maintain its monopoly power" over the industry of online retail.
For example, the agency accused Amazon of punishing sellers who offer lower prices elsewhere, burying them "so far down" the website’s search results "that they become effectively invisible". The FTC also said Amazon forces sellers to use its warehouses and delivery services, inflating costs for both consumers and sellers.
