German Court Deems DAZN Price Hikes Unlawful

The Higher Regional Court of Hamm (OLG Hamm) ruled that DAZN's price increase clauses are 'intransparent and inappropriate' in a preliminary assessment. The case, brought by the Federation of German Consumer Organisations (VZBV), challenges DAZN's 2021 and 2022 price hikes for existing subscribers—including a jump from €14.99 to €29.99 per month. The court stated the terms were incomprehensible to consumers. A final ruling is scheduled for November 18, 2026. The OLG Munich already ruled a similar increase invalid, with the case now pending at the Federal Court of Justice.

•OLG Hamm preliminary assessment finds DAZN price increase clause 'intransparent and unangemessen' (inappropriate).
•The price hike in August 2022 increased DAZN's monthly subscription from €14.99 to €29.99.
•The case was filed by the Federation of German Consumer Organisations (VZBV) against DAZN's parent company in London.

Cramer: Meta $18B Settlement Is a 'Big Break'

Jim Cramer called Meta Platforms' $18 billion settlement with state attorneys general over youth social media addiction claims a "big win," saying the market's muted stock reaction was "ridiculous." The agreement, reached with attorneys general from 48 states, D.C. and three U.S. territories, pauses a landmark federal trial and requires Meta to add safety features for children — including default daily time limits, parental supervision tools, age-assurance measures, and limits on push notifications during school hours. Meta will allocate about $12.7 billion to participating parties over a decade, with a further $5.3 billion contingent on YouTube and TikTok implementing matching safety measures and payments. Cramer noted the settlement reduces existential litigation risk but cautioned about the potential need for Meta equity issuance to fund the payout and its heavy AI spending.

•Meta Platforms agreed to an $18 billion settlement of youth social media addiction claims with attorneys general from 48 states, the District of Columbia, and three U.S. territories.
•Under the settlement, Meta will implement safety measures including default daily time limits, enhanced parental supervision tools, age-assurance measures, elimination of push notifications during school hours, and controls to prevent kids from seeing harmful content.
•Meta stated participating parties will receive about 70% ($12.7 billion) of the allocated payment over a decade; the remaining 30% ($5.3 billion) is contingent on YouTube and TikTok adopting specified measures and matching payments.
