Amazon faces a Seattle court hearing this week, accused by the FTC of deceptive Prime membership practices. The FTC alleges Amazon manipulated users into automatic renewals and made cancellations difficult. Amazon denies wrongdoing, claiming its actions were proper and customer-focused. Jury selection begins Monday, with the trial expected to last up to four weeks. The case centers on Amazon's user interface design and cancellation processes, which the FTC claims were manipulative and coercive.
