The Federal Trade Commission delayed the start of a rule that aims to reduce the unsubscribe process by a nightmare. Last year, the FTC voted to approve an amendment to a statute called the “Independent Power Rule” to add a new “Click with Concar” rule that requires companies to pre-subscribe terms for subscription terms and prohibit them from “making it harder for consumers to cancel than it signs.” Surprisingly, the telecom company was not happy and sued the FTC. Although the rule is scheduled to be implemented on May 14, the Federal Trade Commission now says law enforcement has been postponed to 60 days to July 14.
Some parts of the updated negative power rules came into effect on January 19, but the previous government delayed the implementation of certain regulations until May 14 to give companies more time to comply. In the case of a new administration, the FTC said it had “a brand new assessment of the burden that compulsory imposed on compliance on this date “is not sufficient to illustrate the complexity of compliance.”
Once the July 14 deadline hit, the FTC said “regulated entities must comply with the entire rule as the committee will begin to implement the rule.” However, the statement added: “If law enforcement experience exposes the issues with the rule, the committee will open up the amendment”.
