• The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has accused Amazon of engaging in deceptive practices related to its "Amazon Stamps" program. The FTC alleges that Amazon has been automatically deleting customer messages that could serve as evidence of these deceptive practices, making it difficult for customers to prove their claims.

• According to the FTC, Amazon's "Amazon Stamps" program offered customers the ability to earn rewards for making purchases, but the company allegedly made it difficult for customers to redeem their rewards. The FTC claims that Amazon's actions were designed to discourage customers from seeking their rightful rewards, and the automatic deletion of messages was an attempt to cover up these practices.

• The FTC's lawsuit against Amazon seeks to hold the company accountable for its alleged deceptive practices and to prevent it from continuing to engage in such behavior. The case highlights the ongoing scrutiny of large tech companies' business practices and the importance of transparency and fairness in consumer-facing programs.
