D.C. attorney general brings antitrust lawsuit against Amazon

The top antitrust panel for the House of Representatives completed a sweeping, 16-month investigation last fall, finding that Apple, Amazon, Google and Facebook engaged in anticompetitive behaviors. Amazon competes with some of the smaller merchants that sell products on its marketplace, the investigation found, which “incentivizes Amazon to exploit its access to competing sellers’ data and information, among other anticompetitive conduct.”
