Trade orgs for Netflix, Disney, and others oppose an FTC plan to make it easier for people to cancel subscriptions.
The "click to cancel" proposal comes as streamers and other businesses face rising cancellation rates.
The FTC has gone after individual companies; it recently sued Amazon, alleging the etailer "tricked" people into signing up for Amazon Prime.
The new rule would require companies to offer a simple mechanism for users to cancel subscriptions the same way they signed up.
And entertainment trade orgs are fighting the FTC's proposal, submitting comments to the FTC ahead of its June 23 deadline for public comment.
