Steve reacts to news that the SEC is investigating Amazon, tracing it back to Amazon's 2020 congressional testimony and a more recent referral to the Justice Department over alleged obstruction.
He argues the real issue isn't whether Amazon is good or bad, but whether its first-party business should have access to third-party seller data that competitors don't get, and what a genuinely level playing field would look like.
Good context for sellers following Amazon's ongoing regulatory scrutiny.
