    NBCUniversal agrees to pay $3.6 million over Peacock cancellation lawsuit.

    The lawsuit, filed by Los Angeles County, accused Peacock of making it difficult for users to unsubscribe from the service, according to a report from The Hollywood Reporter. The county argued that Peacock violated California’s newly amended click-to-cancel-style subscription law.

    As part of the settlement, Peacock will also have it make it easier for users to cancel their subscriptions.

    Disclosure: Comcast, which owns NBCUniversal, is also an investor in Vox Media, The Verge’s parent company.
