Trade groups for cable providers, online advertisers and other businesses sue to block an FTC rule that would make it easier to cancel subscriptions.

The average consumer spends about $91 on subscriptions each month, according to a CNET survey about subscription creep. Stopping an unwanted subscription or membership with one click (and not feeling misled to enroll in the first place) can help you keep more cash in your pocket.

Trade groups representing advertisers, newspapers, and surveillance providers also want to stop an FTC rule meant to make it easy for consumers to cancel subscriptions.

An industry group representing cable and internet providers sued along with two others on Wednesday to block a U.S. Federal Trade Commission rule that requires companies to offer simple cancellation mechanisms for subscriptions.

Cable and internet providers, home security companies, and advertisers are suing the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) over the proposed rule around canceling subscriptions. Many companies make you jump through endless hoops to cancel a subscription.

Industry groups representing cable, internet, and advertising providers challenge the FTC's new rule simplifying subscription cancellations.
