New York City enforces 'click-to-cancel' rule for subscriptions

New York City has implemented a new rule requiring businesses to let customers cancel subscriptions as easily as they sign up. The regulation, which took effect this week, is the first of its kind in a U.S. municipality. It aims to prevent companies from forcing customers to cancel via phone or in-person visits after joining online. The city government estimates the rule could save residents tens of millions of dollars annually.
