You realize if you weren’t surrounded by lemmy zealots how seriously ignorant you folks sound right?
Good thing they didn’t have access to guns.
It’s been 10 damn years. How long you people going to be surprised?
With enough hoop jumping anything can have a terinary chain of impact if you need to justify your cause.

Amazon is pretty upfront with customer data and protects it well. You might not agree with their policy, but they’ve never lied to the b2b and AWS customers.
I agree that could be a sticking point, and maybe end up with a minor fine for that. Amazon (and Google+ Ms) typically are very good at separating that data. I’m not sure what Amazon would use that here.
The details are sparse, but that’s not what I read they are doing here.

Amazon ain’t serving you heat and electricity. You can go get your plastic from any number of retailers. Amazon is just automating more competitor analysis and using that data to automate pricing.
There is nothing going on here that doesn’t go on in every industry. The only way they get in trouble is if they are using internal pricing data that’s only available to them. In which case they can just scrape the public data instead
This isn’t an interconnected two way API/algorithm. There is no collusion here. That requires a two way communication and agreement. Amazon is taking public data and automating what every company out there already does.
At best Amazon will get pegged if they are using internal pricing data, but they likely are using publicly available data from the site to avoid that.
I am shocked that business changed prices to meet demand. SHOCKED!
Windows bad. Linux good. Now go find a study with content that fits this narrative.
So the same thing here.
Technical restrictions and discounts encouraging customers to keep using a single provider for all their needs, even when better alternatives were available, could be considered anti-competitive, the body said in a report earlier this year.
And what cloud provider is that, and what technical restrictions are they talking about? Sounds like bullshit.
If you want to say it’s impossible for others companies to compete fine, but please don’t act like AWS is twisting arms to get into companies.
Yeah that worked for porn!
