  "account": "Netflix, the US-based streaming service, has announced a 2 euro price increase across all its subscription plans in Germany. This means customers will now pay an additional 2 euros each month for their preferred subscription tier. The standard subscription with ads, previously priced at €4.99 per month, has risen to €6.99. Similarly, the ad-free standard subscription, which cost €13.99, now goes up to €15.99. The premium subscription, which was €19.99, has increased to €21.99. Additionally, the cost to add another member to any of these plans has also gone up. For ad-supported plans, the charge jumps from €3.99 to €4.99 per month, while for standard and premium plans, it rises from €4.99 to €5.99 per month. Consequently, customers with a standard subscription with ads will be paying 40 percent more than before, while those with an ad-free standard subscription will see a 14 percent increase in their monthly fees. As of now, it remains unclear when these new prices will take effect for existing Netflix subscribers in Germany. In May 2025, a court in Cologne ruled that Netflix must pay a German customer €200 for not adequately informing them of subscription price hikes. This decision implies that any price increase presented via a pop-up on the Netflix account, where users can agree or cancel their subscription, now constitutes consent to the price rise. Going forward in Germany, if customers do not explicitly consent to continue their subscription despite price rises, their subscription will automatically terminate.",
