Should this not go away with the final rule from the FTC on cancellation. Ït should be as easy to cancel as it is to subscribe in the first place.

If that rule is law, then what are the fines that Carta faces if it does not adhere to that rule.

The FTC "click-to-cancel" rule is only concerned with subscriptions by consumers. B2B services, like those offered by Carta, are outside its ambit.
I don't expect that rule to survive. Last time trump took office he went on a petty vendetta through all government departments to try to undo every little thing obama did.
Realistically the FTC doesn’t have the staffing or expertise to act on much at all.

They can offer “rules” of questionable value post-Chevron, but even in areas like COPPA where they have clear statutory authority, and widespread lawbreaking, they do nothing.

However, like all things in the United States, justice is for sale, you just need to sue.
