(ABC 6 News) — It now may be easier to cancel all the subscriptions many have signed up for and later forgot about.

The Federal Trade Commission has adopted a “click to cancel” rule.

It will ban retailers and other businesses from misleading people about subscriptions. It also requires them to get your consent before charging for memberships, auto-renewals, and programs linked to free trial offers.

One of the key goals of the new rule is to make sure it’s as easy for you to cancel a recurring subscription as it is for you to start one.
