The UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is investigating Microsoft for potentially misleading customers about pricing changes in its Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscription plans. The probe focuses on whether Microsoft provided clear information when it introduced AI features like Copilot, which led to automatic plan upgrades at higher prices unless customers opted out or switched plans.
