“Amazon to Face Antitrust Charges From EU Over Treatment of Third-Party Sellers.” Allegedly Amazon scoops “up data from third-party sellers and using that information to compete against them.” To me, properly this is strictly a contractual matter. Is Amazon violating the terms of contracts? If not, it’s none of the government’s legitimate business. If third parties wish to insist on such terms as a condition of doing business with Amazon, they are free to do so.
