What they do with Amazon basics is ripe for antitrust. Using purchase data to find profitable products, and making a basic version of it which they then rank at the top.
- jldugger 7y agoIs Amazon Basics any different than any other store brand? It's not like national retailers before amazon were just throwing darts at a printout of their catalog.
- KirinDave 7y agoThat isn't a meaningful question for anti-trust cases. The rules are simply different for big companies.
- jldugger 7y agoI don't understand how Amazon is even in the anti-trust docket. They own like one tiny ass grocery chain, and an online market dwarfed by large retailers. Sure, they have a near monopoly on eBooks, but I don't see how you make the case they used that to break into the discount microfiber towels market.
