A U.S. court has overturned the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) 'click-to-cancel' rule. This rule mandated that businesses offering online subscriptions or memberships provide consumers with a simple and easily accessible method for canceling their services. The court's decision was based on the finding that the FTC failed to adhere to the proper rulemaking process required by U.S. law. The ruling potentially impacts consumers by making it more difficult to cancel unwanted subscriptions and memberships.
