German Court Expresses Doubts Over Class Action Against Amazon Prime Video Ad Introduction
The Consumentenbond Saxony is pursuing a class action lawsuit against Amazon Prime Video regarding the introduction of advertising in the streaming service. Over 200,000 people have joined the lawsuit. The consumer protection organization argues that Amazon informed customers of the change but did not obtain their consent before introducing mandatory advertisements. Users must pay an additional €3 per month to avoid ads. The Bavarian High Court has expressed serious doubts about the admissibility of the case, and a verdict is expected on July 17, 2024.
