The Federal Trade Commission's proposed click to cancel rule requires
companies to provide more detailed information and notices about
cancelling automatic renewals, subscriptions, and memberships which
are prevalent in online commerce. The proposed rule, titled Negative
Option Rule, is at:
https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/p064202_negative_option_nprm.pdf

The goal of the proposed rule is to combat unfair or deceptive
practices that include recurring charges for products or services
consumers do not want and cannot cancel without undue difficulty. The
FTC is currently seeking comments on the proposed rule until April 19,
2023.
