Full title: NYC is now the first city in America that bans sketchy subscriptions / As of Thursday, the city’s click-to-cancel rule has taken effect, which requires businesses to make it as easy to cancel a subscription as it is to sign up.
Genuine question, how does a municipal government pass and enforce a law like this? Where I live I don’t think a municipal government could do this (both practically and legally)
Who does this rule apply to and how would the city enforce it?
It might be the first city, but the state of California has had this for many many years. It’s a great law.
Gyms would go bankrupt
Frankly they should
Correct I wonder what the allowance of the business funding is attributed to subscriptions not used. I think they must factor it in. Then second question is how much with this actually cost them,
This is refreshing. I’m so tired of right wing people being like “the government can’t do anything right and I’m going to prove it by sabotaging and starving the government”.
Imagine what we could have if we ran the government to help people.
This was a federal rule, one guess who undid it.
Nixon.
You guessed wrong. There are now two doors in front of you, one leads to hell. Choose wisely.
Was it Orange Foolius?

It’s pretty crazy that the most no-duh common-sense policies solely exist under the banner of “radical communism.” Almost makes one question the political compass.
“radical communism” 🙄
the GOP and even a lot of people on “the left” in the US couldn’t give you half the description of what communism is. this regulation falls squarely under classical Liberalism, and despite their squawking about Libertarianism or whatever Republicans act more like Liberals than their ideology poisoned brains could comprehend.
