I really wish cities and other regulatory bodies were equally as zealous in their slapdowns of startup behavior. Airbnb, Uber, and the slew of scooter companies come to mind as doing the equivalent of Swarm’s behavior in their respective markets.

Hmm... Uber and AirBnB were 'first wave' where there wasn't even any precedence to charge or regulate them. Now we see a ton of regulations in specific cities for both of those companies. As for the scooters, maybe you just live somewhere else, but where I am in, it was a fucking NIMBY nightmare. They were throwing them in front of tech / private transportation buses and into the water. They were all banned for about 6 months until legislation came out.
