Klobuchar Statement on the Antitrust Lawsuit Against Amazon

Press Release

"America's prosperity is built on hard work, open markets, and fair competition. But right now we're facing a monopoly problem as dominant digital platforms like Amazon increasingly use their power to increase prices, preference their own products and services, and harm small businesses. These anticompetitive practices are bad for consumers, entrepreneurs, and businesses, and I commend the Federal Trade Commission for taking action.

The case for reinvigorating competition policy and putting in place rules of the road for Big Tech companies is clear. I will continue to push for updates to the antitrust laws, including the bipartisan American Innovation and Choice Online Act, to strengthen our economy and make sure consumers can get the fair treatment they deserve."
