Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Australia Sues Amazon Over Prime Video Ad Changes
Caption: Australia Sues Amazon Over Prime Video Ad Changes. Australia’s consumer watchdog has sued Amazon, alleging the company used unfair contract terms when introducing advertisements to Prime Video subscribers nationwide. The regulator claims more than one million customers were affected after Amazon required extra payments to keep previously ad-free streaming services. Many annual subscribers had already prepaid for Prime, but later received an ad-supported service unless they agreed to pay an additional monthly fee. The ACCC argues Amazon relied on contract terms allowing significant service changes without offering refunds or meaningful compensation to affected customers. Amazon said it is reviewing the lawsuit, noting it cooperated with the investigation while remaining focused on delivering the best customer experience. The case adds to growing global scrutiny of Amazon, following regulatory actions in the United States and United Kingdom over consumer protection concerns.
