New California law requires one-click subscription cancellations
New California law requires one-click subscription cancellations
Californians will be allowed to cancel their gym memberships, streaming video services and digital newspapers using one-click techniques.
Very nice.
I'm curious to see how corporate will still manage to make it a hurdle. "Your honor, it's still a one-click cancellation, the subscriber only has to click it with his toes while standing on his head in a wolf's den"
Its not defined as "one click" in the law.
You made me curious, and you are correct that "click" is nowhere in the document.
It does seem to further refine the original intent of the law. My takeaway was it is now required to unsubscribe in the same way you sign up. If you can sign up online, you can quit online, not only by calling a number or visiting a place in person. If you signed up in person, you can quit in person, not call a number no one will answer.
There's a few other new provisions too, such as allowing for termination if the price of the subscription changes. Overall, it seems to improve on what was there.
I'm not in California, so I didn't read it word for word, as it won't apply to me, but it was interesting to get more of the truth. If you want to see the full text with the amendments highlighted, here you go.
i dunno it was kind of satisfying to tell spotify to eat shit through 5 pages of "are you sure you want to cancel/ why?" bullshit
One more reason to use California as my VPN location
IIRC the governor of CA said no way and vetoed this bill.Edit: see my comment below.
Are you thinking of the privacy bill he vetoed?
