Title: FTC Sues Uber Over Deceptive Subscription Billing Practices

Link: https://news.slashdot.org/story/25/04/21/1748...

The Federal Trade Commission filed suit against Uber on Monday, alleging the
transportation giant violated federal consumer protection laws through
deceptive billing and cancellation practices for its Uber One subscription
service. According to the complaint, Uber violated both the FTC Act and the
Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act by misleading consumers about
subscription terms, charging users without consent, and implementing
deliberately complicated cancellation processes. "Americans are tired of
getting signed up for unwanted subscriptions that seem impossible to cancel,"
FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson said in announcing the action. The $9.99 monthly
service, launched in 2021, offers benefits including fee-free delivery and
discounted rides.
