Court blocks FTC ‘click to cancel’ rule designed to ease unsubscribing

Washington Post - A federal appeals court has voided Biden-era plans to crack down on tough-to-cancel subscriptions, which would have required businesses to make it as easy to cancel subscriptions as it is to sign up to them. On Tuesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit in St. Louis granted a petition from business groups to block the Federal Trade Commission’s rule, known colloquially as “click to cancel,” days before its scheduled date of enforcement of July 14.
