Appeal Challenging YouTube’s Ore. ARL Compliance Being Eyed for Oral Argument

The 9th U.S. Circuit Appeals Court is considering for an upcoming oral argument calendar in San Francisco for July or August the appeal of YouTubers Victor Walkingeagle, Nathan Briggs and Donald Molina to reverse the district court’s dismissal of their complaint challenging YouTube’s compliance with Oregon’s Automatic Renewal Law (ARL) (see 2311210030), said a text-only docket entry Thursday (docket 23-35465). The appellants argue that YouTube was required under the statute to disclose, in a “clear and conspicuous manner,” five “specifically enumerated automatic renewal offer terms" under the ARL. The three Oregon residents enrolled in YouTube subscription services and allege that YouTube didn’t comply with any of the ARL's requirements.
