Adobe Settles DOJ Lawsuit over Deceptive Subscription Practices
Software maker will pay a $75 million fine and provide “affected consumers” with free services.
In June 2020, a class-action lawsuit was filed against TWC Product and Technology for allegedly misleadingly representing that the Weather Channel app collects data from users to provide them with better personalized local weather information without disclosing that it sells the data to third parties for advertising and marketing purposes. (Hart et al v. TWC Product and Technology LLC, Case No. 20-cv-3842, N.D. Cal.)
Software maker will pay a $75 million fine and provide “affected consumers” with free services.
Order puts platforms like Amazon and Walmart on notice.
Advertised “best deal ever” comes with some caveats.
