Global e-commerce behemoth Amazon.com Inc. and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) began arguments this week in a lawsuit originally filed in 2023 in the Western District of Washington.

The litigation claims Amazon deceived millions of consumers by enrolling them in Amazon Prime without their consent and also made it nearly impossible for them to cancel their subscriptions.
