Democrats are pushing to reinstate the FTC's 'click-to-cancel' rule, which was recently blocked by an appeals court. The rule aimed to make canceling subscription services as easy as signing up. Lawmakers have introduced legislation to codify the rule through a congressional vote. Simultaneously, a group of Democratic senators, led by Amy Klobuchar, are urging Republican FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson to reinstate the rule. Their letter emphasizes the importance of consumer protection and preventing companies from making cancellation processes deliberately difficult. The Democrats' dual approach reflects their commitment to reviving the consumer-friendly regulation.
