Key Highlights
Amazon faced two class-action lawsuits initiated by German consumer protection agencies regarding their Prime Video service and subscription pricing adjustments.
The first lawsuit emerged due to the introduction of advertisements on Prime Video in early 2024 without prior user consent.
