This is different from the Prime Video case from earlier this month 
<https://groups.google.com/g/tvornottv/c/s-pwdQz64es/m/tRtIE-2_AAAJ> 
(link)... it settles a 2023 Federal Trade Commission action "alleging that 
it had enrolled millions of consumers in Prime subscriptions without their 
consent and then made the subscriptions exceedingly difficult to cancel"... 
"investigators found documents indicating that Amazon executives and 
employees knew about issues with the Prime enrollment and cancellation 
process, citing comments such as 'subscription driving is a bit of a shady 
world' and leading consumers to unwanted subscriptions is 'an unspoken 
cancer'"... they'll cough up $1B in civil penalties and form a $1.5B pool 
to pay affected customers, most of which will have to file claims:
