Playing the devil's advocate here, Amazon is definitely not the only retailer that can use data.
All the retailers have data on what sells in their store, they also have the data on how sales are influenced by shelf placement.
Amazon to me is a logistics company, along with their storefront and AWS. Their focus on margins and their competence to use data to drive their logistics chains is what's truly scary. They can optimize a lot of inefficiencies that exist in logistics right now just because of the involvement of different disjoint players.
- hef19898 6y agoI totally agree with that. And having seen Amazon and various other companies from the inside, I jave to say that Amazon was definitely the most extreme, but all the most compliant one. They are looking for the legal limits, but the they stay within them. If these limits aren't clearly defined, they test them. So I would suspect that from a legal perspective, Amazon might be fine. Hoe all that translates into anti-trust law, I have no idea.
