I always thought the law should be really simple. It should take an average person (independent from the case and a large enough sample) about the same time to pay for something than to refund/return/cancel it. That's it.

I gladly am in Germany and companies are more scared of implementing dark patterns here for canceling products. When I was in the US I dreaded cancelling services because I knew they would make me jump around several hoops and even sometimes require contacting customer support.

Hah! Try exiting the church in Germany then. ;-)

But besides that it's really okay.

Can't be too hard. It's already there for email subs - US CAN-SPAM Act and UK PECR.

Good luck finding out how to contact customer support. The darkest dark pattern of them all.
