The new excerpts unveiled Thursday allege executives at the e-commerce giant intentionally deleted communication by using a feature on the popular app Signal that makes messages disappear. By doing this, the FTC said Amazon “destroyed more than two years” worth of communications from June 2019 to “at least early 2022” despite instructions it gave Amazon not to do so.
In a prepared statement Amazon spokesperson Tim Doyle called the FTC’s claim “baseless and irresponsible.”
If you manufacturer a product and sell it on Amazon and your website, but give your site a lower price, Amazon will push lower your listing ranking and crush your sales. My business has gotten warning messages telling us to consider fixing our prices when we’ve done that in the past. They are violating anti-trust laws left and right and should be penalized and broken up. It’s ridiculous they can argue that since they don’t have more than 50% of the market they can’t be a monopoly. They sure can destroy your business like one.
You ought to send those emails to the FTC, since Amazon has deleted their own communications despite instructions against it.
