There’s been a lot but I don’t blame you for not following them. However, I’m surprised you haven’t even heard about the “popular” ones like killing junk fees and one-click canceling of services.

Here’s an out-of-date list.

I definitely remember those things being proposed. I don’t remember them going into effect. Hence the “actually accomplished”. I also remember several companies launching lawsuits to stall the progress. The document you provided says “launched a crackdown on deceptive ‘junk fees’”, not “implemented legislation that banned junk fees”. And “Proposed (not implemented) new ‘click to cancel’ rules”.

With the incoming administration that work is certain to be abandoned. Not saying they didn’t try, just that they weren’t able to be efficient enough to be effective.

…I’m honestly at a complete loss as to what you’re talking about. How what works? What is it you think is happening here? What is it you think I’m lying about?
