Great, now do health insurance.
Of course telecom companies are suing the FTC to block the new 'click-to-cancel' rule

I do believe that’s beyond the power of the FTC, but I agree.

Even worse ISPs are asking for routing numbers instead of credit cards now so you can’t even block or dispute payments.

Legal layman here, why is it I keep hearing of American companies suing regulators? I can’t recall that ever being the case in Australia, unless they’re claiming some law/regulation is unconstitutional or something.
Am I just ill informed? Seems weird.
Regulator is empowered by the law, law is made by legislators, unless it’s against the constitution of your country, surely the answer to any of these cases is: tough shit, company? No? How do they sue a regulator for regulating? Seems weird.

1-click cancellations are bad for consumers, they’ll claim

I actually read somewhere that this is exactly the case they are making. It’s anti-consumer friendly or some dimwitted bulshit like that

What if a poor woman is on her pee rod and cancels in anger before we put her on the phone with our best beggar?
She’ll need to sign right back up the next week when her pee rod anger is gone.
Think of the poor woman.
And what about dudes? No get laid for a month and start getting cranky. What if been kicked in the nuts and cancel in anger?
Think of the poor shattered test tickles.
Be consumer friendly, please. Think of the children with no inner net bcuz cancel was too easy for drunk parents.
Think of the poor children.

Although when cancellation requires only one click, it doesn’t give consumers a fair chance to be interrupted by a pressing matter.

My fingers will atrophy to nothingness with so little clicking!
