Is the US ever going to do something about Amazon's unfair business practices?


Many merchants have complained that if they have a product that is selling well on Amazon, the company will then introduce its own product at a lower price, or give it more prominent placement on the website.

Bill Baer, the former head of antitrust enforcement in the U.S. Justice Department, said a challenge for regulators will be proving harm to consumers and rivals.

“It is not their success that justifies government intervention,” said Mr. Baer, now a visiting fellow at the Brookings Institution. “It is when that success is used in a way that unfairly limits competition.”


Duh...

The sooner Amazon, Fakebook and Google face anti-trust lawsuits the better. They all need to be broken up.
