Biden's FTC chairwoman again goes after Amazon, the company that made her famous

The Federal Trade Commission is once again confronting a Big Tech target, but critics accuse the agency of going"rogue."

The paper argues that the tech giant enjoys monopoly-like powers by operating in so many different business categories and advocates a more aggressive regulatory stance, including possibly breaking up the company. In its latest filing, the regulatory agency claims in a suit filed in the Western District of Washington that Amazon violated the FTC Act and the Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act by using intentional design decisions to deceive and complicate users' ability to end their Prime subscriptions. Amazon denies the claims as"false on the facts and the law.”

The FTC does make a strong point in its most recent case involving Amazon Prime, according to George Washington University law professor William Kovacic. Comer opened an investigation into Khan over whether she's transformed the FTC into a"rogue agency," while Jordan accused Khan of taking political actions against Twitter following Elon Musk's takeover.
