Attorney General Anthony G. Brown announced Monday that his office is leading a coalition of 22 states in a lawsuit filed by the Federal Trade Commission against Uber Technologies and Uber USA, operators of the popular rideshare and delivery company. The lawsuit alleges that Uber used deceptive and unfair practices in offering and selling Uber One subscription services, alleging that Uber used negative option marketing tactics when it offered free trial subscriptions – a practice that automatically charges consumers if they do not cancel a free trial.
