      This is music to my ears. Down with sleazoid apps impossible to cancel.

      The headline is false, the entire state of California has had this since 2024. It’s good NYC is adopting it, but California was first.

      A mayor has the ability/authority to do all of that?

      The fuck were the past ones doing all this time?

      THE MONSTER!!

      Also, would love to hear the complaints from the Right that are currently sucking Trump’s toes for checks and handouts as he breaks their spines in every conceivable way possible why laughing on his mountain of cash he made off their stupidity in voting for him in power, again.

      It’s so satisfying to see someone ACTUALLY DO WHAT THEY PROMISE and that those things ACTUALLY HELP NORMAL PEOPLE and not just the elite shitbaggers.

      Bullshit! BULLSHIT! He was supposed to give us communism, not improve capitalism into a fair and non-deceptive system! Why did fox news lie to me?!?!?!?!?!

      And yet Fox News is trying to label him now a communist seeing that even MAGA likes socialist type freedom from corporate control.

      I have no idea what all this targets, specifically, but I’ve always been of the mind that companies should never be able to raise subscription prices without having to send out and receive back, an explicit “I agree” type authorization from subscribers via email or however they want to do. If an account doesn’t send the agreement back, the company should have to shut the account down, not be able to profit off of raising the prices on X amount of dead, but subscribed accounts.

      Alright other side, please spin up your imaginations and tell me why this is bad for us?

      This is great but the headline is incorrect, California did this a couple years ago. Many online services will present you easy cancellation options if you change your address lol.

      > It also requires businesses to give customers a simple way to cancel — as simple and convenient, in fact, as the mechanism for signing up. In addition to a toll-free phone line, businesses will have to provide an online option that enables customers to cancel by clicking on a link or sending a preformatted email.

      Every move this man makes is the right move. It’s like he’s actually working for his constituency and trying to make their lives better. What a novel idea for a politician.

    23. Madhatter25224 on

      In now officially worried about him.

      These greedy fucks won’t tolerate this sort of thing for long.

    25. Mistyslate on

      So The New York Times is going to be furious and will publish another op-ed?

    27. chemistryplayer on

      How will the republicans feed their bastard babies and mistresses without the ability to scam? Tough times

      I can’t wait for the convenience fee on my digital tickets to go away.

      If memory serves Lina Khans FTC was going to do something similar on the federal level and save us all from these fucking horrible subscription traps.

      And then the Trump administration came in and immediately scrapped it.

      It makes sense though that NYC would do it on their own, Lina Khan went on to be one of Zohran’s transition advisors, so it’s probably taking all her same work and doing it on a smaller scale.
