“With today’s lawsuit, we’re fighting back,” Bonta, a Democrat, said Wednesday in a statement issued before a planned news conference. Amazon disputed that it was violating the law. In a statement, the company pointed to a similar suit filed last year by the attorney general for the District of Columbia, where a judge sided with Amazon.
The company acknowledged that it takes away certain features like its “buy now” button if sellers violate Amazon policies, but it said pricing decisions are ultimately up to sellers.
