Properly proved. Has structure, has flavour, has a point.
Summary
A federal judge in Seattle has ruled that Amazon must face a nationwide class action lawsuit alleging the company overcharged consumers for products sold by third-party sellers. The lawsuit claims Amazon violated antitrust law by restricting sellers from offering lower prices on rival platforms, which allowed Amazon to impose inflated fees that resulted in higher prices for shoppers. The class includes U.S. buyers who purchased five or more new goods from third-party sellers on Amazon since May 2017.
