The sponsor's argument

Why Andrew Gounardes says this is needed

Many users take advantage of easy and accessible subscription plan sign up options on mobile applications - only to discover that they are unable to modify or cancel their subscription within the app, and instead must follow another process to cancel their subscription. This bill would require all mobile apps designed to deliver digital services, where the service itself is being rendered through the app, to provide users an option to cancel the subscription through the app.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
