The NCTA, or the Internet & Television Association, the Electronic Security Association, and the Interactive Advertising Bureau have sued the FTC to block the rule, which they say is “arbitrary, capricious, and an abuse of discretion.
“Too often, businesses make people jump through endless hoops just to cancel a subscription,” FTC Chairwoman Lina Khan said. “The FTC’s rule will end these tricks and traps, saving Americans time and money. Nobody should be stuck paying for a service they no longer want.”The industry groups are reported to have said the rule “oversteps the FTC’s authority and was not supported by evidence,” hoping to block the rule.
