Australia’s consumer watchdog has taken Microsoft to federal court alleging the company misled approximately 2.7 million Australian personal and family plan customers.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission alleged two emails and a blog post were “false or misleading” as there was an undisclosed third option allowing subscribers to retain the features of existing plans without Copilot at the previous lower price.
