Lol, there should be a law that if you pay for a service advertised as ad free, they have to refund you a month of service for each ad they show you.
With billionaires now openly buying politicians (instead of greasing their palms under the counter), I'd say the odds of such a law have become even worse.
Consumer protection laws probably do apply. Ask for a refund and cite whatever laws apply to 'product not as described'.
I live in the US, what are consumer protection laws?
Trump says consumer protection laws cost us money silly, we don't need them.
