On July 8, 2025, just days before enforcement was set to begin, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit vacated the Federal Trade Commission’s “Click-to-Cancel” Rule — officially known as the Rule Concerning Subscriptions and Other Negative Option Plans. The court’s decision came in response to consolidated petitions challenging the rule’s scope, legality, and procedural underpinnings. While the rule faced several lines of attack, the Eighth Circuit ruled decisively on procedural grounds, holding that the FTC failed to conduct the required preliminary regulatory analysis after underestimating the rule’s economic impact. Specifically, the FTC initially claimed the rule would impose less than $100 million in annual compliance costs — a critical threshold for determining whether additional economic analysis is required.

Today, the United States Supreme Court issued its long-awaited opinion in Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton, a landmark case addressing the constitutionality of Texas’ age-verification law targeting adult content online. In a closely watched decision, the Court ruled in favor of Texas.

The Free Speech Coalition (FSC), a trade association representing the adult entertainment industry, challenged the law as a violation of free speech rights and a form of compelled disclosure.

B. 1181 triggers, and survives, review under intermediate scrutiny because it only incidentally burdens the protected speech of adults.
