🚗 Stat of the Day: What do Uber rides and alcohol have in common? There’s usually a 12-step process for power users when it comes time to quit.

^That’s according to a lawsuit filed by the FTC on Monday, which alleges the ~30 million subscribers to Uber One—a $10/month offering with deals and perks for regular Uber passengers—are forced to take a minimum of 12 different actions before Uber lets them cancel.

The FTC also accused Uber of enrolling customers in Uber One without their consent, charging users for the service before a free trial period was over, and even charging someone who didn’t have an Uber account in one case.

On the flip side: Uber denied the FTC’s claims in a statement, saying its sign-up and cancellation processes are clear, simple, lawful, and “take most people 20 seconds or less.”
