Ad-Free Means Ad-Free Act

This bill would require the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to write rules within one year that stop paid video streaming services from adding ads to a plan sold as ad-free. Ads could not be added within one year of the subscriber's start date or the length of the contract, whichever is longer. If a subscriber cancels and signs up again, the same one-year-or-contract-length period would restart from the new sign-up date. The rules would also apply when the service is sold through a third party, and the FTC would enforce them as unfair or deceptive practices under the Federal Trade Commission Act.
