Thank you @governor.ca.gov for leading the fight to protect consumers from payday lenders! #Stopthedebttrap
"Rule one of monopolies – they never give up power. It always has to be taken from them. The monopoly should be broken up & then perhaps elements of this “agreement” might be up for discussion. But this deal stinks and consumers can smell the stench from miles away.” #Ticketmaster #ProtectConsumers

#SB766 allows consumers to return faulty vehicles, improves car pricing transparency, prohibits unnecessary & costly add-ons to their cars, & more! @benallenca.bsky.social
We are proud to have been part of such an amazing group of advocates led by @autosafety4all.bsky.social! #ProtectConsumers
With political violence cancerously spreading, @governor.ca.gov must side with we, the people and not Big Tech. For these reasons, we urge him to sign #SB771. Learn more about how this bill holds big tech accountable and protects consumers! #ProtectConsumers #CaLeg

Pro-consumer groups & small businesses ask @governor.ca.gov to VETO #SB791, which would more than triple how much greedy car dealers can charge new & used car buyers for "document processing." #scam #Junkfees @consumerfed.bsky.social @consumercal.bsky.social

Paying an average interest rate of 383% for advances repaid in 7-14 days is not "consumer friendly". To truly help consumers and #StopTheDebtTrap, we need to regulate these products.
Excellent work by @nclc4consumers.bsky.social & @crlonline.bsky.social !! #ProtectConsumers
Thanks for sharing. Sure seems like it would be smarter to offer discounts instead of price hikes. Talk about their being tone deaf....🙄
This is exactly why CFC championed #AB2863 in 2024, now a California law to safeguard consumers from this behavior and prevent them from being trapped in unwanted subscriptions. #protectconsumers #automaticsubscriptions
The federal lawsuit accused Amazon of illegally using "manipulative, coercive, or deceptive" designs to "trick" shoppers into enrolling in auto-renewing Prime subscriptions, which currently cost $139 a year or $14.99 a month.

A car is one of the most important purchases a person can make. Consumers deserve a process that is less risky and more affordable. #SB766 does just that! We urge @governor.ca.gov to please sign this important legislation!

When monopolies win, consumers lose!
The FTC is suing @ticketmaster.com and its parent company, Live Nation, over allegations of illegal and deceptive business practices that it says resulted in consumers paying "significantly more" than the face value of a ticket.

CFC is very excited that seven of its strong pro-consumer bills are at the Governor's Desk. We urge Governor Newsom to sign these into law and strengthen consumer protections across the state. #protectconsumers #caleg
The Consumer Federation of California (CFC) supported, sponsored or co-sponsored seven strong pro-consumer bills to Governor Newsom this year, many with strong bipartisan support, and urges Governor Newsom to sign all seven. #California #ProtectConsumers

Live in #California? Don't want to get hit with a HUGE increase in car dealer "doc fees" the next time you buy a new or used car -- up to $500? There's something you can do about it👇
@chuckbell.bsky.social @consumercal.bsky.social NO on #SB791 #teslatakedown
#SB690 is a direct attack on your privacy. It lets companies off the hook, legalizes invasive tracking, and shields Big Tech from lawsuits. Learn the truth: www.stopsb690.com #StopBigTechSpying #California #CALeg #Privacy #ProtectConsumers
BRAVO @consumercal.bsky.social and #California Coalition for Low Income Consumers for helping stand up for consumers and opposing SB 791. @latimes.com @sanjosespotlight.com @sanjoseinside.com
Control over one's data should be a fundamental right! For this reason, CFC is working hard to expand protections for consumers:
#SB44- ensures neural data privacy
#AB656- allows you control of your online data & easily delete unwanted online subscriptions #CALeg #CFPB
