On Friday, several new bills were introduced in the House of Representatives that directly target the largest technology companies. One of those bills, the Ending Platform Monopolies Act, would require Amazon to break itself into two businesses so that it can no longer offer other companies’ products while simultaneously competing against those sellers with its own private label goods. On the surface, this is great news for third-party sellers. Not having to compete against Amazon’s private label sellers will be a boon to those sellers on Amazon’s platform.

AWS infrastructure also supports Amazon logistics, helping route more than 2.5 billion packages every year to the right address (most of the time), not to mention nearly all of Amazon’s other operations.
