Is this the first anti-Dark-Pattern rule in existence? If so I’m hoping more like it comes soon.

I’ll give it about two weeks before some random court in Texas tries to block it.

Big W change. EU should try to copy this idea.

I think EU law already prevents this, at least this has never been an issue in the multiple member states I lived in.

Yep, usually it has to be as easy to cancel as it was to sign up

Living in the EU and Latin America, I can safely say this has never been an issue before with the exception of Proton Mail which took me 8 confirmations and 5 retries

While great news... Watch all of this get undone.

We get these headlines kinda regularly. Feds will do a thing that will save you!

It never gets implemented or is Swiss cheese lol

Hopefully this sticks. IMO, movie studios need to keep attracting customers or the whole film industry will stay dead.
