Anyone have an easy summary of what all was dismissed? This story is surprisingly light on details. (Did I just miss them?)





All of the federal counts move forward, some of the counts relating to specific states who joined the lawsuit are dismissed.

> Last week, before the order was unsealed, some of the initial coverage called it a “partial victory” for Amazon, but as it turns out, the portion of the ruling in which the company was victorious was relatively slim.

> The areas where the judge granted Amazon’s motion to dismiss were related to specific aspects of state claims, including elements of allegations brought by Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Oklahoma, and Maryland. Eighteen states and one territory, Puerto Rico, joined the FTC in the lawsuit against Amazon.

From what I have read, the pieces that were dismissed are still sealed so we don't know yet.

The ruling is linked in another thread. The last two pages outline what all is dismissed. My naive read is that a lot of the claims were dismissed already. I have no idea if that is normal or not. I also assume nobody really expected the entire case to get dismissed?

I am interested in reading an analysis of this.
