The U.S. Federal Trade Commission's case against Amazon will proceed despite dismissals of certain claims from several states, as competition in online retail remains a key focus.
Judge Chun emphasized that Amazon's arguments regarding consumer benefits from its pricing algorithms cannot yet be acknowledged at this stage of the ongoing litigation.
The FTC's allegations claim that Amazon's tactics led to increased prices for consumers, exceeding $1 billion, spotlighting concerns over fairness in the online marketplace.
Amazon maintains that its previous algorithm, which allegedly inflated consumer prices, was discontinued in 2019, but the FTC's scrutiny reflects ongoing concerns about market dominance.
