A federal court blocked the 'click to cancel' rule for subscription services, days before it was set to go into effect.
The ruling found that the Federal Trade Commission failed to follow proper procedures under the FTC Act in making the rule.
The rule, aimed at making it easy to cancel subscriptions, memberships, and recurring payments, faced opposition from trade associations and had a rocky path to implementation.
New York Attorney General Letitia James expressed disappointment over the ruling and stated consumers should not have to struggle to cancel subscriptions.
