I don't disagree, nor do I think Uber is entirely ethical. I was merely pointing out a few inaccuracies with RMS's assertions:
- Uber cannot snoop on users' locations all of the time if they use the web interface.
- Uber does not have access to the contacts of web interface users.
- The web interface does not depend on the use of a nonfree operating system.
- Uber does not require customers to run a nonfree program (app). I've not actually checked to see if the web interface uses nonfree Javascript but the API is open so it should be possible to create a free Uber client. RMS doesn't seem to mind about the software running on the servers as it doesn't directly affect customers.
- The Uber app itself may require running other nonfree software however the Uber app is not required to use Uber's services.
