Amazon faces FTC lawsuit over alleged deceptive Prime sign-up practices using "dark patterns."
Amazon is on trial in Seattle over allegations it misled consumers into signing up for its Prime membership using deceptive website design, known as "dark patterns."
The FTC claims Amazon made enrollment easy with prominent free shipping buttons but buried cancellation options in a complex, multi-step process called the "Iliad Flow," tricking millions into unintended subscriptions.
The government argues this violated consumer protection laws, while Amazon denies wrongdoing, saying its practices are industry standard and that "dark patterns" are not legally defined.
The jury trial, expected to last nearly a month, is a precursor to a larger 2027 antitrust case.
Judge John Chun has criticized Amazon’s legal tactics, including hiding evidence, and ruled in favor of the FTC on key issues.
