Finally. Maybe the world's biggest store, the world's biggest CDN and webhost, and the world's biggest logistics network shouldn't be under one roof.

The world's biggest store is Walmart, the world's biggest cdn is Akamai, and the world's biggest logistics network is DHL.

Now now, don't let such frivolities as facts get in the way of anything.

Ah, I was hoping these kinds of lazy, carbon-copied replies would be left on Reddit.

The complaint is likely to focus on challenges to Amazon Prime, Amazon rules that the FTC says block lower prices on competing websites, and policies the FTC believes force merchants to use Amazon’s logistics and advertising services, according to some of the people.

Relevant part of the article - they're not going near AWS or the entertainment/filming side of things, just the retail side it looks like.

Even if Amazon loses every part of a lawsuit like this it won't materially affect their bottom line, so the headline seems like clickbait to me.

This is anecdotal, but amazon is rarely the cheapest place to shop nowadays, even with prime shipping

It tends to be the same as anywhere else. The only reason to use it is the flexibility they offer with delivery dates with Prime.

No questions asked returns are probably the single largest reason to still bother with Amazon.
