FTC fines cracks down on Lyft for deceiving drivers

$2.1 million fine feels like this is more of a warning shot for now. https://x.com/linakhanftc/status/1849918153641374085


"Most drivers would not earn the amounts Lyft advertised. For example, Lyft told potential drivers they could make up to $33/hour in Atlanta and up to $31/hour in Miami. In reality, these figures reflected earnings of the top one fifth of drivers."

You don't need to be a tech libertarian. The key word is "up to". It literally means what Lyft advertised. How's the deceptive?
