The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has requested a delay in its case against Amazon, stating that staffing cuts could impact the trial.
Attorneys for the regulator have asked a judge for a two-month continuance due to staging and budget shortfalls caused by employee layoffs.
The FTC filed a lawsuit against Amazon in 2023, alleging that the company tricked customers into signing up for Prime subscriptions using 'dark patterns' and making it difficult to cancel.
Amazon has opposed the FTC's request to delay the trial, stating that the case has no merit.
