Amazon has defended itself against a lawsuit filed by the District of Columbia alleging that the online retailer “deliberately” and “secretly” stopped delivering to “historically underserved” black communities.
D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb alleged in the lawsuit that for more than two years, Amazon had stopped deliveries to up to 50,000 Prime members.
