The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), under Chair Lina Khan's leadership, has been actively enforcing new consumer protection rules aimed at transparency and fairness in fees and subscriptions. The FTC is holding StubHub accountable to the Unfair and Deceptive Fees Rule, which requires clear disclosure of fees for purchases such as NFL tickets and concert seats. Additionally, the agency's click-to-cancel rule, designed to make subscription cancellation as easy as signing up, has been delayed until July 14, 2025, following legal challenges. This delay means consumers will remain subject to potentially unwanted subscriptions for an additional two months. The FTC has issued frequently asked questions (FAQs) to clarify the 'junk fees' rule and continues to warn businesses about compliance. Meanwhile, the Department of Justice and FTC have directed agency heads to identify and eliminate anticompetitive regulations, including those in the healthcare sector.
