Mayor Mamdani announces 'Click-to-Cancel' consumer protection rules

BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani announces click-to-cancel rule for NYC. This rule is aimed at guaranteeing New Yorkers can cancel subscriptions as easily as they sign up — and stopping corporations from trapping customers. This will save New Yorkers up to $162.5 million per year. Drop a follow

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... Another huge win for the people against the corporations. Thank you, Mayor Mamdani.

Mayor Mamdani: It's estimated that the average family of 4 loses more than $3,200 per year on junk fees and hidden costs. Today I'm proud to announce 2 new consumer protection rules. Together, these laws will save New Yorkers more than $162 million per year.

Mayor Mamdani spent his downtime doing what we all do—playing Mario Kart and complaining about a slow ride. Except his "slow ride" was a city bus stuck in traffic, and now he’s talking about transit fixes instead of just venting. Relatable mayor energy, actual policy follow-through. #Blues

In fact, Click to Cancel was one of her big victories at the FTC. Mamdani only has to do it because Biden lost.

We had this under Biden until the court decided it was fine to make it difficult to cancel things. www.consumerfinancemonitor.com/2025/07/23/e...

It's nice to see a leader who doesn't feel the need to check with the billionaire Tech bros before doing something for the people. I like this because I can click on a subscription on my TV to join but if I want to cancel it I have to go online and just through hoops... I like this!

Oct 1, 2024 Governor Gavin Newsom signed landmark "Click to Cancel" legislation (Assembly Bill 2863) that requires businesses to allow consumers to cancel online subscriptions and recurring memberships with a simple, easy-to-locate click or button.

Having run the gauntlet of cancelling a Sirius XM Canada subscription recently - which REQUIRES a phone call - I would totally support federal legislation to make one click subscription cancellation mandatory. www.commondreams.org/news/mamdani...

Paging Mayor Mamdani - will he cut ties with them?

Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he thinks it's "great" when asked by NY1's Errol Louis for his reaction to an AP poll that found him with a 44% favorability rating among Jewish Americans, compared to a 32% favorability rating for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for that same group.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration is developing “a new process” for how to field requests for meetings with top city officials after his international affairs chief almost sat down with an Iranian government official earlier this week. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

You know what he does, he acts all performative about it by filing a pothole himself. 🙄The prior mayor just made a silly announcement. 👇 Mamdani fans want to be entertained. 😒 www.nyc.gov/mayors-offic...

“For years, companies have built their business model around making it harder for working people to hold onto their money,” said Mayor Mamdani. www.nyc.gov/mayors-office/news/2026/07/mayor-mamdani-announces-landmark--click-to-cancel--consumer-prot

Since the FTC was prevented from Instituting a national click-to-cancel rule because a judge found the economic impact to companies would be too great, can Congress create a national law, can state or federal courts intervene in CA or NY, or has court capture temporarily halted progress?
