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.

    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?

        1. That’s not true, just look at my post history.

        2. If I believed for a second you actually cared how I was doing, we might discuss it. But I don’t.

          1. just anecdotal, like I said from posts I’m viewing, I won’t pick apart your post history for an opportunity for you to argue more :P
          2. K, I was attempting to care but it doesn’t matter. Trying to create a more positive perspective of you to myself (since you’re so prevalent around here) and I see that I’ve failed lol

            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.

              I’m doing it right now, I’m asking if you’re doing okay. I’m actively trying atm. I’ll assume you are and go about my day I suppose.
