Imo, Uber is a pretty good example of a company that highlights rifts in the libertarian movement over the extent to which large corporations directing labor are compatible with libertarianism. The kinds of libertarians who emphasize freedom of contract and the free market would see them as a great example. The kinds of libertarians who emphasize individual autonomy against collective decision-making might be less keen. There's an old disagreement over whether corporations are an example of freedom of economic association, or an example of a quasi-governmental collective coercion. Roughly: Milton Friedman vs. Lysander Spooner.
