Khan’s announcement of the now-vacated rule said that too many “businesses make people jump through endless hoops just to cancel a subscription. The FTC’s rule will end these tricks and traps, saving Americans time and money. Nobody should be stuck paying for a service they no longer want.”
Good thing representatives only have to tell their constituents why this is bad. No need to take it all the way to voters.
The owner of the company I work for was celebrating this last night. Gross
I would be grateful if you could include the country this applies to in the title.
For everybody else: it’s the US. Who would have thought.
Not many other countries have a regulatory body called the “FTC”

Court nullifies “click-to-cancel” rule that required easy methods of cancellation
FTC is not mentioned in the title of the article.
Subtitle of the article:
FTC failed to follow rulemaking process required by US law, judges rule.
They asked about including it in the title, not the subtitle.
But not everyone knows which country FTC regulates.
If the person cares, then they should to their research.
The guy was just asking for a small courtesy, but ok.
Lol at so called rule of law that only benefits the rich
Don’t worry, EU got this
It sounds like this ruling is based on a technicality. If so, couldn’t FTC make the same decision, this time better following letter of the law?
See the beauty of doing this now is that khan has been improperly removed from her position at the FTC by the current administration, of course the court will not take up the case about her removal, just strike down rules on technicalities now that they won’t be resubmitted.
Sail the high seas people.
It is not only streaming. I used to have a barkbox subscription for my dog, monthly treats and toys. Well she is allergic to most of the treats, and hardly plays with the toys. I tried to cancel, and thought I did. But it changed me to a different option instead, so again the next month I went to cancel and it still did not cancel. Finally after the 3rd try I managed to cancel. It kept offering me “solutions” to not cancel.
I admit I should have checked for a confirmation email and made sure I was cancelled.
Prime does similar and keeps looking like you are cancelled, but you are not.
Sailing the high seas solves those problems too. Forego Amazon Prime and just steal your shit from their cargo ships.
