FTC Files Antitrust Lawsuit , Against Amazon.
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) sued Amazon.com on Sept. 26, Reuters reports. .
According to the FTC, Amazon restricted sellers on its platform from discounting, which suppressed competition, and required them to use its "fulfilment service.".
The lawsuit follows a four-year investigation after Amazon.com and other tech companies were accused of abusing their internet dominance, Reuters reports.
Lawsuits were also previously
filed against Google and Facebook.
Lawsuits were also previously

Left unchecked, Amazon will
continue its illegal course of conduct
to maintain its monopoly power, FTC, via lawsuit.
The FTC went on to ask the court "to put an end to Amazon's illegal course of conduct, pry loose Amazon's monopolistic control, deny Amazon the fruits of its unlawful practices,
and restore the lost promise of competition.".
The complaint also asked the court to contemplate "any preliminary or permanent equitable relief, including but not limited to structural relief, necessary to restore fair competition.".
Critics of Amazon applauded the lawsuit.
No corporation has ever centralized this
much power across so many crucial sectors. Left unchecked, Amazon’s power to dictate and control threatens the rule of law
and our ability to maintain open, democratically governed markets, Stacy Mitchell of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, via statement.
Amazon issued a statement about the FTC's lawsuit.
The practices the FTC is challenging have helped to spur competition and innovation across the retail industry, and have produced greater selection, lower prices, and faster delivery speeds for Amazon customers and greater opportunity for the many
businesses that sell in Amazon’s store, David Zapolsky, Amazon's general counsel, via statement

Anthropic's chatbot operates in a similar manor as ChatGPT and Bard, but the
company claims it is safer and more reliable.
This is reportedly due to Claude's
ability to autonomously revise responses instead of depending on humans.
The chatbot also has the ability to interpret larger prompts, which is helpful when examining longer documents.
The deal will grant Amazon minority ownership of Anthropic. .
The company's technology will
be incorporated into various
Amazon products and applications. .
Google also has a 10% stake in the company,
which will not be affected by the deal with Amazon.
Anthropic intends to pursue its partnerships with both companies, independent of each other, The Verge reports.
