New York City Enforces Click to Cancel Rule for Subscriptions

New York City enforced the 'Click to Cancel' rule on October 1, allowing residents to terminate subscriptions through a simple, single-click mechanism.

The regulation targets dark patterns that obscure cancellation buttons and aims to save New Yorkers up to $162.5 million annually.

The Department of Consumer and Worker Protection holds citywide enforcement authority, with companies facing civil penalties starting at $525 for violations.
