The US Federal Trade Commission is proposing a "click to cancel" rule that would require companies to make ending a subscription as simple as signing up.
Companies must offer an up-front opt-out that lets customers bypass sales pitches and annually remind consumers that they're enrolled in "negative option" programs.
The proposed ban aims to prevent companies from manipulating consumers into paying for unwanted subscriptions.
The FTC can recover around $50,000 per individual violation of a consumer's rights and demand restitution from companies that break the rule.
The agency is seeking public comments on the proposal before making revisions and passing the final regulation.
