CA-AG v. Amazon

Amazon allegedly stifled competition and caused increased prices across California through anticompetitive contracting practices, according to CA-AG. Amazon allegedly requires merchants to enter into agreements that severely penalize them if their products are offered for a lower price off-Amazon. Amazon allegedly continued to impose and enforce price parity requirements even after removing the "Price Parity Provision" in its Business Solutions Agreement. Amazon allegedly enjoys market power over consumers, as evidenced by its imposition of ads on consumers it knows they do not want.
