For me: Cancelling paid subscriptions should be as easy as subscribing. I hate the fact that they actively hide the unsubscribe option or that you sometimes should have to write an e-mail if you want to unsubscribe.

I don't know how this works in the US, but where I live after a year subscription (let's say for your internet provider or something). They can only renew per month. So if the year subscription is over you can cancel any service every month and they can't hit you with any fees.

Back in the day if you'd forgot to cancel your plan you'd be stuck with them for another year. It sucked!

Fun fact: There's technically a right to free speech in the constitution of the People's Republic of China. But we all know how that goes.

Just like with any rule in any society; without enforcement, they are nothing but merely the words of people. ahem USA ahem

Interest based loans. It’s completely legal to use debt to kick the poor deeper into the gutter so that they can never stand up again.

Ripping a tag from a pillow that says "Under Penalty of Law: Not to be Removed By Anyone but the Consumer"

Political parties sending you a reply-paid envelope that says it'll enrol you to vote postal ballot, with a return address that sends your information to that party, so long as they eventually do forward your info on to the Electoral Commission to register you for a postal vote.

Riding down a mountain road on a bicycle, going 50 mph, without a helmet on.

That is illegal in a bunch of places, riding a bike without a helmet
