          1. 1. Last week I got upset with one of Sweden's largest financial newspapers: Dagens industri (Di). By getting people to sign up for 5-dollar 3-month subscriptions that they forgot to cancel, Di tied them to 1-year $28/month subscriptions! I wrote a blog post outlining this scam.

          2. Today I'm getting word from several people who were able to get out of the contract thanks to the work I did detailing the flow and pointing out the lack of clarity around the 12-month contract. Each person's potential savings are around $336!()

        3. I even added a step-by-step guide on what victims should write and to what address, to make it easier for them. "I got a response from Di. They're tearing up my invoice and 'are aware of you criticism'. They are going to look over their communication. I hope for the better."

      4. If I could, this would be my day-job , blogging for justice. So very pleased about how his played out. Here is the Swedish post. Even if you can't read it you can see the effort I put into screenshots and dissecting the terms :) axbom.blog/dagensindustri/

    5. Also, the campaign is still online. Which means that I've made good use of Twitter's Ads Transparency Center to find all ads and comment on them with warnings. ads.twitter.com/transparency/dagensindustri

      6. Here's a Feb 14 article from the paper, by the editor-in-chief, boasting a huge growth in profit and very strong increase in subscriber numbers. It's important to understand many of those subscribers are likely vulnerable and unwilling. di.se/nyheter/sa-har-di-okat-vinsten-med-44-procent/
