☆ Louis Gossett Jr., 1st Black man to win supporting actor Oscar, dies at 87
  + stars: | 2024-03-29 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +8 min
Louis Gossett Jr., the first Black man to win a supporting actor Oscar and an Emmy winner for his role in the seminal TV miniseries "Roots," has died. Gossett became the third Black Oscar nominee in the supporting actor category in 1983. "More than anything, it was a huge affirmation of my position as a Black actor," he wrote in his 2010 memoir, "An Actor and a Gentleman." "I knew too little to be nervous," Gossett wrote. Gossett went to Hollywood for the first time in 1961 to make the film version of "A Raisin in the Sun."

☆ Amazon tricked customers into buying a more expensive Prime subscription when they just wanted to stream videos, FTC says
  + stars: | 2023-06-21 | by ( Yeji Jesse Lee | Eugene Kim | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
The complaint alleged that Amazon's website was set up in a way that tricked customers out of the lower-cost Prime Video subscription. Colored buttons encouraged and redirected customers to sign up for a full Amazon Prime subscription, the complaint said. "Capitalizing on some consumers' inability to appreciate the difference between 'Prime' and 'Prime Video,' the Prime Video enrollment process fails to clarify Amazon will enroll them in Prime rather than the less expensive Prime Video, on both desktop and mobile platforms," the complaint said. "This causes some consumers to enroll in Prime, rather than Prime Video, unknowingly." The FTC complaint also alleged that Amazon "tricked" customers into signing up for a Prime subscription and then made it difficult to cancel the memberships.

☆ FTC wants to make it easier for consumers to cancel free trials and subscriptions
  + stars: | 2023-03-23 | by ( Brian Fung Nathaniel Meyersohn | Brian Fung | Nathaniel Meyersohn | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
CNN —New rules from the US government could soon let Americans more easily cancel free trials and subscriptions they no longer want, according to the Federal Trade Commission. The proposed rule change announced Thursday would apply to vast swaths of the US economy, covering both digital and physical subscriptions. Americans should not have to jump through hoops or be hounded by unwanted retention offers just to cancel their subscriptions, FTC Chair Lina Khan told reporters on a conference call Wednesday. The FTC in 2021 warned companies against deploying illegal dark patterns that trick or trap consumers into subscription services. Gyms, newspapers, phone companies and other businesses have faced lawsuits for imposing obstacles on consumers who try to cancel their services.
☆ Ex-fugitive in fraud scheme tied to $100 million NJ deli willing to pay millions for bail

Watching from the gallery was Coker's mother, Susan, and his father, Peter Coker Sr., 80, who is also a defendant in the case. "He looks good," Susan Coker told her son's lawyers, John Azzaerello and Bill McGovern, afterward. Coker Jr. is "pretty much willing to stake every nickel he has" to be released on bond, Azzarello said. After the hearing, Azzarello told CNBC, "I don't think this case, by any means, requires pretrial detention." Coker Sr. and Patten, who were arrested in September after a grand jury indicted them and Coker Jr. on 12 criminal counts, each remain free on $100,000 bond.
