The Federal Trade Commission and 22 states filed a major lawsuit accusing Amazon of secretly rigging its advertising auctions to overcharge more than one million brands and sellers. Regulators allege the tech giant quietly introduced undisclosed price floors that undermined promised second-price auction mechanics, siphoning tens of billions of dollars. Amazon vehemently disputes the claims, arguing its auction ranking prioritizes ad relevancy and has generated substantial cost savings for advertisers.
