Uber has been an deliberately criminal organization from day one. Many of their executives should be in prison, but they have suffered no meaningful consequences. Nothing will change.
- atonse 7y agoThey won't. Nothing will change. They all hide under the cover of "disruption" when there were ways to do all this without breaking the law and flaunting regulators.
- colechristensen 7y agoSome of the regulations needed to be broken. Cab companies provided bad service and corrupted local governments to give them monopolies. Breaking that has been a good thing but Uber/Lyft/etc have in many cases gone too far.
- teknopaul 7y agoTotally agree. Its organised crime.

In the same week, he asked his direct report, Uber's SVP of Engineering Amit Singhal, to resign after a month for failing to disclose a sexual harassment claim during Singhal's 15 years as VP of Google Search" "In March 2017, Uber VP of Business, Emil Michael contacted Kalanick's ex-girlfriend in an attempt to silence her into hiding an HR complaint."
