Difficulty Canceling Adobe Subscriptions Under Fire From FTC - Bloomberg

Adobe Inc. said US regulators are probing the company’s cancellation rules for software subscriptions, an issue that has long been a source of ire for customers.
The company has been cooperating with the Federal Trade Commission on a civil investigation of the issue since June 2022, Adobe said Wednesday in a filing. A settlement could involve “significant monetary costs or penalties,” the company said.

Apparently you can't even uninstall the app without agreeing to the terms.

Nor cancel your subscription.

We recently rolled out a re-acceptance of our Terms of Use which has led to concerns about what these terms are and what they mean to our customers. This has caused us to reflect on the language we use in our Terms, and the opportunity we have to be clearer and address the concerns raised by the community.

Over the next few days, we will speak to our customers with a plan to roll out updated changes by June 18, 2024.

At Adobe, there is no ambiguity in our stance, our commitment to our customers, and innovating responsibly in this space. We’ve never trained generative AI on customer content, taken ownership of a customer’s work, or allowed access to customer content beyond legal requirements. Nor were we considering any of those practices as part of the recent Terms of Use update. That said, we agree that evolving our Terms of Use to reflect our commitments to our community is the right thing to do.

Using AI as excuse or what for this type of spyware ToS?

Hope Adobe will not be dumb and throw some weird ToS on June 18, 2024.
