Lack of click-to-cancel

[edit | edit source]
The WS Journal cancellation page, which only displays a telephone number.

The paper's introductory subscription is $1 per month subscription for 3 months. After 3 months the subscription increases to $20 per month. Unsubscribing is only available by calling a customer service phone number.[2] This is anti-consumer because it's easy to sign-up on their website, but artificially more difficult to unsubscribe due to having no click-to-cancel option available.

Incidents

[edit | edit source]

Add one-paragraph summaries of incidents below in sub-sections, which link to each incident's main article while linking to the main article and including a short summary. It is acceptable to create an incident summary before the main page for an incident has been created. To link to the page use the "Hatnote" or "Main" templates.

If the company has numerous incidents then format them in a table (see Amazon for an example).
