Washington AG Signals Enforcement on Automatic Renewals
| 4 min
Earlier this week, we posted that a plaintiff filed a proposed class action against the NFL over its automatic renewal practices. The complaint alleges that the NFL used “dark patterns” to enroll consumers in its NFL+ subscription without consent and that it then made it difficult for them to cancel. Although we don’t know exactly what happened in that case, these are themes that come up frequently in automatic renewal cases. These themes were also echoed in an announcement by Washington AG Bob Ferguson this week.
