> Uber would not give more details on its technical controls. In practice, the security sources said, Uber’s policy basically relies on the honor system. Employees must agree not to abuse their access. But the company doesn’t actually prevent employees from getting and misusing the private information in the first place, the security sources said.
If true, that is fantastically ludicrous.
It seems I wasn't paying attention, in 2014 - as this "God view" news passed me by. I will be keeping a closer eye on this as it plays out.
Uber obviously seems to be in a strong position, but going only by this article, Uber might fare poorly in a multi-region privacy-legislation legal battle (war?).
- dx034 10y agoIt's exactly what an employee writes in another comment here: > every time I access production systems, I have a ton of messages telling me that our access is being completely tracked and we are prohibited from doing anything that was mentioned in the article. There is probably a small department doing random checks on data access. But with several thousand people (including support staff) accessing data, the chance of being noticed is extremely low.
