  • The U.S. Department of Justice, on behalf of the Federal Trade Commission, sued the company in June 2024 alleging it harmed consumers by enrolling them in its most lucrative 'annual paid monthly' subscription plan without clearly disclosing that cancelling early triggered a substantial earlytermination fee, and by making the cancellation process difficult through 'dark patterns' in violation of the Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act.
