Mamdani launches 'Click to Cancel' rule to end subscription traps and junk fees
Reported byABC7 New York ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced a 'Click to Cancel' rule requiring businesses to make cancellation as easy as signup, effective October 2026, estimated to save New Yorkers $162.5 million annually and modeled on a federal FTC rule now blocked under the Trump administration.
Implementation and enforcement mechanisms remain untested; a similar federal rule was blocked by courts.
