Ohio Sues AOL Over Cancellation Process
from the you-can't-check-out dept
Just a month after AOL agreed to clarify the terms on how they handle canceled subscriptions, Ohio's attorney general has sued the company, saying that the company doesn't clearly explain the cancellation procedure, and is tricking people who thought they had signed up for a free trial. It's unclear if this is after AOL's agreed changes or if the Ohio AG is trying to sneak one in before they comply with the terms of their own settlement.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

The noncontract
We hold these nontruths to be self-concealing, that all nonhumans are created unequally, that they are deprived by their destructor with certain alienable rights, that among these are death, tyranny, and the pursuit of sadness.
