Remember all that talk of "click-to-cancel" laws back in 2025? In other words, if you can sign up for Netflix with a click, you should be able to cancel your Netflix subscription just as easily. It sounded like an excellent idea to consumers, especially if it could help with things beyond paid subscriptions, such as unsubscribing from an email list. But what you might not have seen is that the federal effort was actually struck down in July 2025. New York City has become the latest and most aggressive example, adopting a first-in-the-nation municipal rule requiring businesses to let consumers cancel subscriptions as easily as they signed up for them.
