An Amazon spokeswoman and FTC spokeswoman declined to comment. Amazon did not respond to a request for comment. The European Commission specifically called out that example as something it will be looking into. Why did this happen? There was criticism, however, that the fines were not much of a deterrent because the company could easily afford them.
This is perhaps why an Amazon official isn’t going to comment on a specific response to a specific request for comment.
