FTC sues Amazon, saying it 'tricked' customers into signing up for Prime and sabotaged attempts to cancel
Business Insider
Amazon has been using deceptive and illegal tactics to dupe millions of subscribers into unknowingly enrolling in Amazon Prime while creating a self-described “Iliad” process to prevent users from leaving the program. This predatory behavior has cost consumers millions of dollars and has been intentionally preserved to keep cash flows up for the tech behemoth. Amazon must stop these manipulative tactics and pay for its transgressions.
Since 2021, FTC Chair Lina Khan has unfairly targeted Amazon and its executives in an egregiously handled probe that shows a clear personal vendetta she has against CEO Andrew Jassy and Jeff Bezos. Khan has publicly shown her bias against Amazon since her 2017 article berating the company, and she is now abusing her power to target Amazon and its key figures.
