Q: How can I stop iTunes from hijacking transactions with other web sites?
The New York Times no longer does subscriptions through iTunes.
I tried to subscribe directly through the NYT website, and Apple, without
my knowledge, hijacked the transaction and charged me for the subscription.
Apple did not send this information or payment to NYT, and I had to subscribe
and pay by phone. Apple needs to stop this kind of fraud, reimburse me, and
cancel the monthly payment iTunes has set up.
iPad 2, iOS 8.3

Apple are not here, these are user-to-user forums.
The NY Times For iPad app's description page says that you can still subscribe, and that it will automatically auto-renew unless you cancel it : NY Times For iPad :

Subscription Options:
• Unlimited access to this app + NYTimes.com for $14.99 per month. Cancel anytime.
• All Digital Access (including the NYTimes apps for iPhone and iPad + NYTimes.com) for $34.99 per month. Cancel anytime.
All Digital Access members may also share their subscription with a family member.
• Times Premier (including All Digital Access) for $44.99 per month. Times Premier members also receive Times Insider blog access on the iOS apps, as well as web access to the Times Insider blog, Times Talks, TBooks, special Times crosswords and more.
Your subscription will automatically renew each month and your credit card will be charged through your iTunes account. You can turn off auto-renew at any time from your iTunes account settings.
Is that the app that you have, and have you turned off its auto-renewal on your iTunes account : View, change, or cancel your subscriptions - Apple Support ? If you have turned off but will still charged through your iTunes account then contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
