TL;DR Summary
A U.S. federal judge has scheduled an October 2026 trial for the Federal Trade Commission's antitrust lawsuit against Amazon, which accuses the company of operating an illegal monopoly and using illegal strategies to boost profits. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Seattle after a four-year investigation, alleges that Amazon's actions have resulted in over $1 billion in increased prices for U.S. households. Amazon has requested the court to dismiss the suit, arguing that the FTC has misunderstood common retail practices as anticompetitive conduct.
