Closed Require companies to provide a simple method of cancelling online subscriptions

Closed on

I want the government to require companies to provide a simple method of cancelling online subscriptions. As an ADHD sufferer, I suffer from poor impulse control and a short attention span.

Citizens should not be forced to jump through hoops and dodge confusing design patterns to cancel a subscription that was set up quickly and easily.

I want the government to ban companies from:
* Making cancellation process hard to find
* Encouraging users to accidentally exit the process
* Forcing users to make phone calls

I think that this is all designed to trap customers into keeping services they don't want.
