FTC’s click-to-cancel rule has been struck down by federal judges at the eleventh hour

Adoption of the federal requirements to make canceling subscriptions easier were delayed in May.

Not surprised, just disappointed. We went from the most pro consumer WH to what is shaping up to be the worst WH for consumer rights in my lifetime.

    Oh I’m not pretending that at all and I don’t see how I implied that in any way. What I’m trying point out is that you’ll have precedence on your side when going to court if the FTC does the same thing for a Republican measure.

    What do you mean by “people like you?”

    I’m not against the click-to-cancel rule, we definitely need something like that.

    As for economic effect… That isn’t something the court should be concerned with anyway!

    The court ruling wasn’t on the economic effect of the click-to-cancel rule. The ruling was that the FTC skipped their own requirements to make this rule.

      By “people like you” I mean people that see this as a good thing. They’re picking and choosing what laws this applies to and what they let slide. This is just the “easy out” that prevents “people like you” from being outraged at the blatant corruption going on.

      It wasn’t meant to be insulting.
