Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Washington D.C.'s Attorney General has filed a lawsuit against Amazon, claiming the company covertly reduced delivery services in two predominantly Black ZIP codes while charging full Prime membership fees. Since mid-2022, residents in areas 20019 and 20020 experienced a drop in on-time deliveries from over 72% to nearly 25%. Amazon attributed the change to safety concerns for drivers, while officials argue it constitutes deceptive business practices. The lawsuit seeks restitution for affected residents and enforcement against further deceptive conduct.
