Is the grammar in this headline really awkward to anyone else? "Uber says gave U.S. agencies data on more than 12 million users" Either it should be "Uber says they gave" or "Uber gave". :/

Newspaper headlines have a domain-specific grammar, in which this is perfectly legal. But ok, have an 'is'.

  Tabloid headlines have their own sub-form, which would be: > Uber: We gave US agencies your data!

  I'm very familiar with newspaper headline grammar, but this is at best extremely awkward. It doesn't fit any of the usual patterns.

yes, it is awkward (at the risk of being downvoted for my simple answer)

unless "Uber says" is a service they provide to law enforcement.
