That's nice you believe that, except for the fact that only a few years ago Uber tracked the location of a Buzzfeed journalist from God mode, and was accordingly fined for it.[1] In 2014, senior executive Emil Michael suggested using their service to dig up dirt on reporters.[2] They further tracked a Buzzfeed reporter when she was late to a meeting with one of their executives, without her permission.[3] The Uber data science team once used sensitive customer data to find a correlation between their ride data and prostituion, which was highlighted when it was quietly taken down.[4] Lest you think this was a one-off blog, then I refer you to the one entitled "Rides of Glory" [5] that tracked the one-night stands of their riders (you just can't make this shit up).[6] At Uber's Boston launch party they thought it would be hilarious to track 30 users in what they dubbed "Creepy Stalker View", and one executive, Chris Sims, was shown travelling around in a car - live - causing him to quit the service in outrage.[7] 1. https://www.google.com.au/amp/www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2016/1/6/10726004/uber-god-mode-settlement-fine https://www.google.com.au/amp/www.theverge.com/platform/amp/... 2. https://www.buzzfeed.com/bensmith/uber-executive-suggests-digging-up-dirt-on-journalists?utm_term=.qvQLAQaOmr#.rhpGL348mx https://www.buzzfeed.com/bensmith/uber-executive-suggests-di... 3. https://www.buzzfeed.com/johanabhuiyan/uber-is-investigating-its-top-new-york-executive-for-privacy?utm_term=.grxBeJOEG9#.ldzbm3rly2 https://www.buzzfeed.com/johanabhuiyan/uber-is-investigating... 4. https://www.google.com.au/amp/venturebeat.com/2014/11/24/uber-removed-blog-post-from-data-science-team-that-examined-link-between-prostitution-and-rides/amp/ https://www.google.com.au/amp/venturebeat.com/2014/11/24/ube... 5. https://web.archive.org/web/20141118192805/http://blog.uber.com/ridesofglory https://web.archive.org/web/20141118192805/http://blog.uber.... 6. http://www.marketplace.org/2014/11/18/business/final-note/ubers-data-makes-creepy-point-about-company http://www.marketplace.org/2014/11/18/business/final-note/ub... 7. http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2014/10/03/god-view-uber-allegedly-stalked-users-for-party-goers-viewing-pleasure/#5482352c3f84 http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2014/10/03/god-view-...
