My family and friends outside the tech industry have almost no clue about nearly all these scandals - especially the data breaches and the former CEO's indiscretions. About the only thing they hear is that some Uber drivers have assaulted passengers in the past, but they write that off against the fact that a lot of Taxi drivers have done the same in the past. It is a telling example that the pain point of a bad taxi service in a city is usually enough for them to conformance rationalise that Uber is still a better alternative, despite any of these issues.
