You are not. Here is a list of scummy things Uber does that I put together recently for another thread.[1] All are pretty gross, many are "word but not spirit" issues, but at least a few of them are outright, flatly illegal.

- mikeash 10y agoThanks. That's quite a list. Given that, it seems like this whole article rests on false pretenses.
- ivraatiems 10y agoThe funny thing is it's not even complete. There is definitely much more out there; I just ran out of time to compile it all. In fairness, I'm not sure I would go so far as saying the article's pretenses are false - rather, the article is assuming good faith when it probably shouldn't. I also think that it's talking mostly about Uber's core business idea being a gray area (which it is), rather than all the myriad bad things Uber does that aren't directly related to its actual business.
