FTC sues Amazon, alleges enrollment of consumers in Prime membership without consent
PBS NewsHourAPR 2 2023
Amazon uses coercive and punitive tactics to keep its top spot in the e-commerce market and then raises prices for goods due to the inorganic lack of competition that would normally bring them down. This tech behemoth has continued this regime of economic suppression for far too long, so, thankfully, the FTC — backed by a bipartisan group of states — is finally laying down the law.
Since 2021, FTC Chair Lina Khan has unfairly targeted Amazon and its executives in an egregiously handled probe that shows a clear personal vendetta 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.
