Governor Gavin Newsom has signed California’s “click to cancel” Assembly Bill 286 into law to make it easier for consumers to opt out of subscriptions. The bill, introduced in April 2024, forces companies that permit online or in-app sign-ups to allow for online or in-app unsubscribing as well.
"AB 2863 is the most comprehensive ‘Click to Cancel’ legislation in the nation, ensuring Californians can cancel unwanted automatic subscription renewals just as easily as they signed up — with just a click or two,” said California Assemblymember Pilar Schiavo.
You do know there can be federal laws without requiring a constitutional amendment, yes?
Sarcasm is not lended to text very well. Can you understand that a state that makes a good law is a good thing and that nuance exists.
Please give me the nuance where a click to cancel law makes sense in California and not in all 49 other states.
You’re being obtuse. I’m done here.
Because there is no such nuance. This should be a federal law. It isn’t because the federal government has been too weakened by Republicans over decades. Which was my point.
I’ve been online for like 30 minutes and every post I’m going into has you arguing with someone. Are you doing alright today?
That’s not true, just look at my post history.
If I believed for a second you actually cared how I was doing, we might discuss it. But I don’t.
Bullshit. What have you ever said to me in the past that would lead me to believe you were trying to create a more positive perspective of me? I do not buy it for a second.

You didn’t provide any context. You’ve just named a federal program that has nothing to do with this law, which is about automatic subscription renewals. You certainly haven’t explained why being able to click to cancel such a program is a good thing in California and a bad thing in all 49 other states.
