    Drawing from the Federal Trade Commission's recent policy statement
    and its own past enforcement actions, the Consumer Financial
    Protection Bureau issued a new circular for companies offering
    negative option subscription services, that highlights examples of
    unlawful behavior by companies that have used dark patterns and other manipulative tactics to trick consumers into paying recurring charges
    for unwanted products and services. The two agencies are partnering in
    efforts to combat dark patterns and expressed their commitment to
    bringing action where necessary.
