Amazon has filed a complaint accusing the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) of “harassing” top executives like CEO Andy Jassy and founder Jeff Bezos. Amazon claims the FTC is “unduly burdensome” on its employees — pulling a page from Elon Musk’s playbook, it seems.
The complaint, which was filed on August 5 and made public this week, accuses the FTC of taking extreme measures in its investigation of Amazon’s Prime service. The FTC seeks to understand whether or not Amazon uses deceptive practices in coercing consumers to sign up for Prime subscriptions, as well as information on how difficult Amazon makes it for existing Prime customers to cancel their subscriptions.
