F.T.C. Sues Amazon for Inducing Users to Subscribe to Prime. lawsuit was the first time that the Federal Trade Commission under chair Lina Khan has taken Amazon to court. The lawsuit is part of a larger effort by regulators to limit the power of tech giants including Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft and Meta, Facebook’s parent company. Customers last year spent $35 billion on Amazon subscriptions, primarily Prime memberships, according to the company's financial disclosures. The agency said Amazon made it hard for consumers to find the page that allowed them to cancel the service.
