FTC Sues Uber Over Sneaky Uber One Sign‑Ups

The Federal Trade Commission filed suit alleging Uber enrolled users into its $9.99‑per‑month Uber One membership without clear consent. The agency says dark‑pattern tactics trapped riders in paid plans; Uber denies wrongdoing.

What this means for you:
If successful, the lawsuit could bring refunds or easier cancel buttons for anyone auto‑billed.
Tech firms may rethink “hard‑to‑quit” designs, making future subscriptions more transparent.
Pay attention to free‑trial fine print—regulators are cracking down, so you might gain new consumer rights.
