• The US DOJ is suing Adobe over harming customers and not correctly disclosing important terms.
• It claims Adobes yearly commitment isnt clear enough to consumers.
• Adobe also makes canceling subscriptions very complicated and charges an early termination fee.

Lawsuits have become so common in the tech industry that we are no longer surprised by them, and today, Adobe seems to be the new target. This lawsuit is more unique, though, as this time, the United States Department of Justice is suing the software company famous for applications like Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere, Acrobat, and more.

The US DOJ filed an official complaint today, blaming Adobe for a few things. For starters, it claims that Adobe “has harmed consumers” for years by not being clear about its plan terms. More specifically, its referring to the Adobe Creative Cloud subscriptions that operate as “Annual, Paid Monthly.”
