Amazon Moves to Dismiss Lawsuit Over Prime Video Ads: Company ‘Never Promised’ Service Would Be ‘Ad-Free’
Amazon is seeking to dismiss a class-action lawsuit filed by Prime Video users disgruntled over its addition of ads by default.
In the Oct. 4 filing, the ecommerce giant pointed to its terms and conditions, which note that Amazon may “choose in its sole discretion to add or remove Prime membership benefits.” The class-action lawsuit accused Amazon of false advertising and deceptive practices over the addition of ads to Prime Video by default.
