those who “use” New York Times products and applications — mainly subscribers, that is. A look at previous legal complaints against the Times provides a glimpse at the sorts of court fights that the Times is looking to avoid. In June 2020, a California subscriber brought a class action against the company citing an alleged Times practice of collecting charges for automatic subscription renewals without first obtaining “affirmative consent.

, the Times Co. assesses that pending legal actions against the company are not “likely to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position.”The Erik Wemple Blog asked the Times what cases prompted its arbitration clause, as well as what sorts of future cases it’s looking to avoid.
