Does the FTC actually have the power to set rules like this effectively now that Chevron deference isn't a thing? I'd imagine e.g. the New York Times, among others, will quickly sue to stop this, no?

NYTimes already allows cancelling online for most subscriptions, so I imagine this won't be a big issue for them.

That depends on what state you're in right? (i.e. California customers can cancel online, but Wisconsin ones need to talk to an agent)

IIRC they implemented online cancellation everywhere a while back.
