Microsoft Faces ACCC Action Over Subscription Disclosure Rules

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has launched proceedings against Microsoft Corp. and its subsidiary, Microsoft Pty Ltd., in the Federal Court of Australia.

The allegations stem from October 2025, when the ACCC claimed that Microsoft had failed to comply with disclosure rules for subscriptions.

No specific details were provided regarding the alleged violations or potential penalties, but the case has significant implications for the tech industry and consumer protection in Australia.
