Lawsuit alleges Amazon secretly stopped fast service to mostly Black ZIP codes in Washington DC

The DC Attorney General's office has filed a lawsuit against Amazon, alleging that the company excluded two predominantly black neighborhoods in Washington, D.C., from its delivery services. This exclusion led Amazon to rely on third-party services like UPS, while customers in these areas continued to pay for Amazon Prime memberships, which promise expedited shipping. Amazon defended its actions by citing safety concerns for its drivers in these neighborhoods.
