I have written my congressman and my state representative multiple times in two states, asking them to sponsor a bill to address this. The basic idea I have is that it should be illegal for an unsubscribe or cancellation process to take more time or effort or a different communication channel than its subscription process, and that the process to cancel must be easily discoverable. The fine would be way in excess of the value of a typical subscription, eg maybe $1000 or so per occurrence. This would also be an individual cause of action, meaning that, if you encountered this, you could take them to small claims court. So far I have gotten a lot of positive noises but no action.
