Amazon criticizes ‘burdensome’ FTC probe into Prime

WASHINGTON: Amazon.com Inc confirmed that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has been investigating sign-up and cancellation processes for its Prime program since March 2021

The probe was previously reported by Business Insider, but Amazon made the probe public in a recently posted petition with the FTC that questioned what it called the agency’s “burdensome” requests and said the commission was harassing senior executives.
