03:59 PM EST, 11/27/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Uber Technologies ( UBER ) is the subject of a Federal Trade Commission investigation that the ride-hailing company is signing up customers for its Uber One subscription service without their knowledge along with other potential violations of consumer protection laws, Bloomberg reported Wednesday, citing agency documents it reviewed.

The company is cooperating with the probe, according to the report, which said the FTC is also trying to determine whether the company makes it overly difficult for users to cancel those subscriptions. Uber ( UBER ) dismissed those assertions, telling Bloomberg that most users can cancel their subscription in 20 seconds or less.

Uber ( UBER ) and FTC did not immediately respond to requests from MT Newswires seeking comments.
