(Washington, DC) -- The Federal Trade Commission is proposing new regulations to make it easier for consumers to cancel free trials and subscriptions.
The FTC said on Thursday that its click-to-cancel proposal would require sellers to make canceling an enrollment more straightforward.
The agency said the proposal would help consumers with what it called "seemingly never-ending struggles" in ending subscriptions.
It would impose penalties on companies that use so-called "tricks and traps" to gain subscribers.
