We've had this in California for a couple of years now. It's great! Cancelling subscriptions has been a breeze since it passed.
In fact, a great workaround for anyone else in the USA is to set their home address to California, and then they get the magic unsubscribe button that was otherwise hidden from them.
It is nice to see the administration doing things to help regular people.
- bcherny 2y agoUnless you’re an iPhone user and it’s a promotional email from Apple, in which case there is no way to unsubscribe (“3 free months of Apple Arcade!”)..
- mostlysimilar 2y agoThat's not a subscription you're cancelling though? Isn't this law about cancelling a subscription, not about ads/"promotional email"?

- bcherny 2y agoThat’s fair — Apple might be in violation of CAN-SPAM, but not the proposed law.
- jedberg 2y agoThis is about unsubscribing from services. And in California, it's super easy to cancel Apple Arcade.
- blululu 2y agoThis is a consumer protection law that California has simply nailed. A simply copy/paste of the CA law to a Federal level would be a serious win. The experience of trying to cancel subscriptions/servies in say New York is outrageous by comparison.
