The coronavirus has rendered brick-and-mortar retailers even less capable at restraining Amazon’s market power.

As the antitrust and regulatory spotlight shines bright on Amazon’s abuses during the pandemic, a report from The Wall Street Journal revealed last week that Amazon employees accessed data from individual marketplace sellers when developing products the company would create and sell under its own brand names. The report seems to contradict statements made under oath by a top Amazon lawyer, Nate Sutton, who maintained at a congressional hearing that the company never used data from sellers when creating its own products.
