      I actually read somewhere that this is exactly the case they are making. It’s anti-consumer friendly or some dimwitted bulshit like that

        What if a poor woman is on her pee rod and cancels in anger before we put her on the phone with our best beggar?

        She’ll need to sign right back up the next week when her pee rod anger is gone.

        Think of the poor woman.

        And what about dudes? No get laid for a month and start getting cranky. What if been kicked in the nuts and cancel in anger?

        Think of the poor shattered test tickle.

        Be consumer friendly, please. Think of the children with no inner net bcuz cancel was too easy for drunk parents.

        Think of the poor child.

          You jest, but this may actually be an effective argument with the tech incompetent execs. Hopefully the FTC is more competent, but, somehow, I doubt it.

      Although when cancellation requires only one click, it doesn’t give consumers a fair chance to be interrupted by a pressing matter.

    Even worse ISPs are asking for routing numbers instead of credit cards now so you can’t even block or dispute payments.

      I wonder how this works in other countries because I know it’s normal to do (what we call) ACH-to-ACH transfers.

      I’m actually all for speeding up ACH and using it more often (rather than P2P transfers apps), but you raise a valid concern here.

    Legal layman here, why is it I keep hearing of American companies suing regulators? I can’t recall that ever being the case in Australia, unless they’re claiming some law/regulation is unconstitutional or something.

    Am I just ill informed? Seems weird.

    Regulator is empowered by the law, law is made by legislators, unless it’s against the constitution of your country, surely the answer to any of these cases is: tough shit, company? No? How do they sue a regulator for regulating? Seems weird.
