France should call this bluff. Amazon is trying to push around a democratically enacted law. They are not above the law.

If Amazon was suspended in France a domestic competitor would rise up in a year or two, and Amazon would never regain the market. They would not dare suspending services, this is just a disgusting stunt




France is not geared up for spawning an Amazon competitor.

Aside from one year being waaay too late given the current crisis.


There are many online shops that provide the same as Amazon: Cdiscount, rueducommerce, darty, fnac, etc...

That's for non food items. For food, all the major supermarkets have been offering delivery for the major part of the decade, long before amazon.
