> Thirty-seven pages long, it detailed a list of questionable behavior at Uber, including spying on competitors and using special laptop computers and self-destructing messaging apps that would hide communications.
It doesn't seem like a good thing that using self-destructing messaging apps is considered by our court system to be "questionable behavior". It is akin to the argument that using encryption implies guilt.
- btian 9y ago> akin to the argument that using encryption... That's quite a stretch. If you read the document, it says they use self-destructing apps to not leave paper trail. That is akin to saying you used encryption so that DEA won't catch you selling drugs.
- matt4077 9y agoThere's a difference between using such messaging apps in a private vs a business context. Plus, this is civil litigation, where the standard of proof is much weaker, and the absence of exculpatory evidence can and will be used against a party.
- revelation 9y agoIt's a civil suit, the burden of proof is only preponderance of evidence, likely decided by a jury.
