💨 Abstract

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has requested a delay in its September trial against Amazon over allegations of misleading consumers about its Prime subscription service, citing severe resource shortfalls due to cost-cutting measures under President Trump's administration. The FTC accuses Amazon of using deceptive "dark patterns" to enroll consumers in automatically-renewing Prime subscriptions, with claims worth at least $1 billion.
