The attorney general of the District of Columbia sued Amazon on Dec 4, accusing it of violating consumer protection laws by making slower deliveries to Prime members in historically lower-income neighbourhoods.
In one of the first complaints of its kind, which was filed with the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, Attorney General Brian L. Schwalb said Amazon had deliberately and secretly stopped its fastest delivery service to the nearly 50,000 Prime subscribers in certain ZIP codes that were lower-income neighbourhoods.
