AsianFin -- The Federal Trade Commission on Monday filed a lawsuit against Uber, accusing the ride-hailing and delivery giant of deceptive billing and cancellation practices tied to its Uber One subscription service.
The agency alleges that Uber violated the FTC Act and the Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act by misleading consumers about its subscription terms, failing to offer an easy cancellation process, and charging users without proper consent.
“Americans are tired of getting signed up for unwanted subscriptions that seem impossible to cancel,” said FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson. “The Trump-Vance FTC is fighting back on behalf of the American people.”
This lawsuit is the FTC’s first enforcement action against a major tech company since President Donald Trump began his second term in January. The commission continues to pursue lawsuits against several tech giants, including Meta, Google, and Amazon — some of which originated under President Biden’s administration. During Trump’s first term, the FTC took a notably aggressive stance, especially in its legal battle with Meta.
