California Attorney General Rob Bonta last night filed a request for a preliminary injunction in California’s existing case against Amazon for price fixing. Attorney General Bonta’s 2022 lawsuit alleged that the company stifled competition and caused increased prices across California through its anticompetitive policies in order to avoid competing on price with other retailers. New evidence paints a clearer and more shocking picture. The motion for a preliminary injunction comes after a robust discovery process where California uncovered evidence of countless interactions in which Amazon, vendors, and Amazon’s competitors agree to increase and fix the prices of products on other retail websites to bolster Amazon’s profits. Time and again, across years and product categories, Amazon has reached out to its vendors and instructed them to increase retail prices on competitors’ websites, threatening dire consequences if vendors do not comply. Vendors, bullied by Amazon’s overwhelming bargaining leverage and fearing punishment, comply — agreeing to raise prices on competitors’ websites (often with the awareness and cooperation of the competing retailer), or to remove products from competing websites altogether. Amazon’s goal is to insulate itself from price competition by preventing lower retail prices in the market at the expense of American consumers who are already struggling with a crisis of affordability.

@Beep@lemmus.org I'm surprised that nobody's mentioning the elephant in the room. In the case of a EU-US split what happens to SWIFT? Will SEPA completely overtake it - at least on a continental scale? How likely is either side of the pond to try and pull the nuclear option on SWIFT (which is hosted in Belgium but has a huge participation of American banks too), with the assured mutual destruction that ensues? By all means, I think that it's worth to consider a world where the constraints of SWIFT are finally overcome, but let's think of all the wider consequences (and response to potential retaliation on either side) that this may cause. All while trying to make sure that in case of nuclear options Europe doesn't have to rebuild overnight its inter-continental payments networks. @technology@lemmy.world

Too late assholes... I'm already deleting most of the posts I made on my discord and I will be migrating elsewhere soon.
