Indie Stores Team Up to Stop Amazon

Today’s WSJ shares that independent stores, including hardware stores, book shops, and pharmacies, have teamed up to stop Amazon’s bad practices. The group, called Small Business Rising, seeks to use anti-trust laws to prevent Amazon marketplace from selling its own goods—which compete with retailers using the platform. Amazon has been shown to use a retailer’s customer and sales data and bypass the retailer (it’s own customer) in order to make a bigger profit. 

Starting 6 years ago, Bridge held seminars to help indie stores protect themselves from predatory tech giants like Amazon. Bridge’s software uses a social component to crowd source website maintenance and fend off the giants.
