A federal appeals court has blocked the Federal Trade Commission's 'click-to-cancel' rule, which was designed to make it easier for consumers to cancel unwanted subscriptions online.
The rule aimed to address widespread frustration over difficult cancellation processes, with Americans reportedly wasting around $200 a year on unused subscriptions. Lawmakers and consumer advocates are now pushing for new legislation and urging the FTC to find alternative solutions. In the meantime, consumers are being advised to use workarounds and tracking tools to manage their subscriptions.
The court's decision means that, for now, canceling online services remains a hassle for many Americans.
