alt Hacker NewsThe received wisdom is that the Trump administration does big business' bidding. Thus, the FTC rescinds federal click to cancel.
But now CA passed its own click to cancel. Surely other states will follow.
How is fighting dozens of different statutes better than working around one in federal courts that are backed up by the business friendly Supreme Court? Businesses are greedy but they aren't dumb. What am I missing?

Oh dip, I missed this entirely. Only saw the Federal news and thought, "Maybe again in four more years."
Now I might sign up for the local gym that opened up, knowing they cannot jerk me around when I want to leave.

I think you're comparing apples and oranges: a federal rule vs a state law. I don't know what kind of federal click-to-cancel legislation initiatives exist, but I know the last two federal digital privacy bills have failed because big tech wants a watered-down federal 'ceiling', while tech states (like CA) want a baseline federal 'floor' that doesn't preempt their more advanced state protections.
