Summary
The Federal Trade Commission has decided to delay enforcement of the Negative Option Rule, which requires companies to offer an easy cancellation process alongside signing up. The commission assessed that enforcing the rule by July 14 would impose unnecessary burdens on businesses. Additionally, the decision follows the firing of two commissioners in March, who sued over their termination without cause.
