A federal appeals court has revived the District of Columbia's antitrust lawsuit against Amazon, which accuses the company of anticompetitive practices in its treatment of third-party sellers. The lawsuit, filed in 2021, claims Amazon inflated prices for consumers and stifled innovation through contract provisions. The case will now move forward, with the District of Columbia Attorney General continuing to fight against Amazon's alleged unfair and unlawful practices.
