The Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) antitrust lawsuit against internet giant Amazon can continue but with more limited claims from state co-plaintiffs, a federal judge ruled in a recently unsealed order.
Unsealed on Monday, the order represented a major defeat for Amazon in its ongoing litigation with the FTC after it filed a complaint in September 2023. The agency and internet giant are scheduled for trial in October 2026 with potentially large-scale changes in store for the company if it’s found to have violated federal and state laws.
