The title of the article is misleading. Amazon has not been sued; A class-action lawsuit has been launched.

  I don't know the difference. What is the difference?

    IANAL, but my understanding is that a class action involves a group of people suing at once. What I meant though is that "sued" usually refers to a completed case in past tense. This lawsuit just started.

      They've been sued, they haven't yet lost the lawsuit.

        You can say they are being sued but they haven't yet been sued.

  A class action lawsuit has been brought against Amazon. This means that they have been "sued".
