My comment was less about this specific ruling and more about the trend. In the US, uber was practically illegal just like Europe. The US made it legal (or looked the other way) while Europe (and much of the rest of the world) decided to clamp down on the service with regulations without ever reflecting on whether the laws themselves were beneficial in the first place.
At least in the US, much of the fear mongering over the possible outcomes of Uber drivers not being properly licensed never came to pass.
- gsnedders 9y agoNote there's all kinds of regulations affecting taxis in Europe: some have clamped down heavily, and others Uber operates totally above the law in.
- celticninja 9y agoDo you mean within the law? Evidently they have acted like they are above the law in most jurisdictions until legal rulings have required them to comply.
- gsnedders 9y agoUh, yes!
- the_mitsuhiko 9y agoIt just depends on how the company deals with it. AirBnB for instance is working with regulators which cannot be said about Uber.
