The FTC just put a damper on next month’s Prime Day.⁠
⁠
Earlier today, the agency sued Amazon for intentionally tricking consumers into signing up for its Prime subscription service, and knowingly sabotaging attempts at canceling.⁠
⁠
In a statement, the FTC said, “Amazon tricked and trapped people into recurring subscriptions without their consent, not only frustrating users but also costing them significant money.”⁠
⁠
Among other claims, the lawsuit notes Amazon made it difficult for users to purchase items without a Prime subscription, and added a button near the end of some transactions that signed users up for Prime without their knowledge.⁠
⁠
The lawsuit comes after a two-year investigation into Amazon’s Prime service by the FTC.⁠
