Unsurprising Did Amazon think they were too big to convict? I wonder if they will meet the fate of Standard Oil, back in the day.

No, Antitrust law was effectively neutered by the Chicago School and their agent Robert Bork.

(BTW that source is right-wing and can hardly be said to be biased against Bork).

If you've ever seen those "Click To Reveal Price" or "Price Only Revealed At Checkout" products online, this here is one reason why. They help businesses keep discounted prices hidden from Amazon's crawlers.

Amazon would be smart to settle with no admission of wrongdoing and an agreement to seal documents lest every other state end up following suit.

The documents can be subpoenaed for a new proceeding from the source.
