The Federal Trade Commission has adopted a rule that will require businesses to make it easy for consumers to cancel unwanted subscriptions and memberships.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce criticized the administration’s approach, saying in August that “heavy-handed regulations that micromanage business practices” will lead to higher costs for consumers.
this is either them saying since they cant mooch off people who want to cancel they will raise prices… or that somehow making a “cancel” button online will cost more in staffing, neither is an amazing pov to have
The Chamber of Commerce, whether the national one or your local group of rich assholes, are only for the benefit of business over the consumer. And they deliberately encourage public confusion. Many (most?) people think they are a government agency and not just a group of corporations colluding in the common interest of making as much money as possible.
Just deleted Uber from my phone. If they’re gonna use my payments to turn around and lobby to keep me locked into subscriptions that don’t even involve them, I’m gonna be a lyft guy from now on.
