    MarillionFan vs Amazon

    “ Amazon ‘abuses third-party sellers’ to become more dominant, says Brussels

    Amazon illegally distorts competition by using the huge amount of data it collects from third-party sellers on its platform to benefit its retail business, the European Commission has said.

    In a sharp criticism of the online retail group, EU officials said that Amazon abused its dominant dual position as an online marketplace platform and a retailer in its own right on the same platform. The American technology company was accused by Margrethe Vestager, the EU’s competition commissioner. of “marginalising third-party sellers” through this position and capping their ability to grow.

    She said that a year-long investigation had shown that “very granular, real-time business data” from third-party sellers on the success of their listings, page views, transactions and shipping details was systematically fed into the algorithms of Amazon’s retail business.“

    EUSSR doesn't like Amazon. Therefore Amazon is good. Do you not understand democracy?

      I’ve seen this democracy in action back in the 90s - just did not expect to see same tulip here 20 years later

        When you play on someone elses playground, with their ball, their referee, their linesman, their supporters, and the fact if they're losing they'll give the ball to the crowd for free, you quickly work out who's in charge. Least I get to keep the orange rinds at half time.
        What happens in General, stays in General.
        You know what they say about assumptions!
