      Thank God! This was highly needed. Few things are as annoying as having to jump through hoops to cancel a subscription you’re not using anymore.

      Awesome news. Now make it so that when I click ‘No, I dont want to sign up for email spam newsletters and offers’, it doesnt still sign me up for those things. Nothing more pointless than an Opt-out that doesnt actually Opt-out. Better yet, eliminate automatic Opt-ins entirely.

      I love how Gyms are the biggest offenders of this lmao. I was out of country for over a year Gym local to me would not believe me even when I called them from a number from India. I had to come in wasted 50$ a month cause I couldn’t even cancel it, and all I had to do was sign a fucking piece of paper that I could’ve signed on my phone.

      Can anyone see if it applies to charity monthly donations? Sometimes charities are exempt. I don’t see it (on mobile).
