That sure changes the Uber vs. Lyft media narrative.
- djsumdog 9y agoNot really. Uber created the Hell Map, Greyball, and had the two harassment memos. This just seems to be a failure to actively monitor their audits and do permissions correctly .. something that Uber got hit with and fixed too. Lyft just needs to deal with this issue now that it's public, not it's not specific to Lyft. It's really difficult to effectively scan for abuse, even when you audit everything. I've seen similar issues at many companies. This Lyft situation might be more oversight where Uber seems to be more malice.
- OliverJones 9y agoDisagree. This press report, rather, tries to piggyback on the Uber narrative. Hey, it got me to click! It's clear from the stuff in the report that Lyft prohibits misuse of PII. The substance of the article is "sometimes people violate our prohibition." The substance of Uber's problems is "our executives and everybody else have free rein on the PII we collect." It's different.
