Choosing not to enforce the click to cancel rule is not Trump's fault? How so?

Laws get pushed off for all kinds of reasons.

It seems like this was pushed off to give businesses more time to comply.

Many kinds of businesses have subscriptions, each with a different situation. Some small businesses don't even have a programmer.

Requiring a phone call is not always (although often is) to make it difficult to cancel. Often it's because a company doesn't have the proper infrastructure for the frontend.

So I think it's reasonable that they are giving companies some time.

In the end, I hope that on July 14th this goes through, it will be a big win for consumers.

EDIT: My answer didn't fully address the question, so let me add: I don't think is the result of Trump trying to be friends with billionaires for their money. I understand why it seems that way - because he literally does that. But this doesn't seem special or extraordinary. Enforcement of laws gets pushed off all the time.

Everything you're saying makes sense if you assume you're dealing with good faith governance.

But we're not.

So maybe you're right. I don't know. But I sure as hell wouldn't assume as much based on the words of these people. We'll see in July I guess.
