Airlines do similar things for anything safety related. Having safer airlines is good for business and there's no sense in hoarding that information.

- pochamago 6y agoI wonder if other taxi services do anything similar regarding drivers they fired for safety reasons
- MattGaiser 6y agoThey are still learning how to get up websites.
- AdamJacobMuller 6y agoI'm sure the process exists, it's just much more localized. If bob from City A's best taxi fires you and you try to get a job at City A's fastest taxi, fastest guy is probably gonna call best guy. If you move cross-country, probably not.
- _jal 6y agoExcept... it ends up being a non-reviewable blacklist that most people don't even know exists. What safeguards are there so that a grouchy driver or engineer can't use it to mess with their ex? For instance.
- ceejayoz 6y agoI would imagine there's a review process for allegations already.
- zeronine 6y agoI assume there is safeguards. But for the same reason these lists aren't public, their policies aren't either.
- _jal 6y agoWell, I think people tend to assume there were safeguards in place for things like this, too. https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20041207/1958200.shtml https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20041207/1958200.shtml Doing these things in the dark almost always leads to abuse.

- rhizome 6y agoFor URLs like that the answer is usually either "Java" or "Microsoft."
- drstewart 6y ago>What safeguards are there so that a grouchy driver or engineer can't use it to mess with their ex? For instance. Not gonna say it's perfect, but as an engineer at one of these companies I'll say production access is generally very locked down and audited to the point of often being quite an encumbrance to even be able to debug production issues. Very unlikely anyone will be willy-nilly blacklisting drivers over personal vendettas.
- nullc 6y agoThe conspiracy theories never end. Next they're going to say there is some 'god view' built into the uber code allowing executives to track and retaliate against journalists that annoy them!

- cwkoss 6y agoIt seems like you may be talking about the no-fly list (which I think is controlled by FBI's TSC with some partnership with DHS) while GP may have been talking about NTSB/FAA safety sharing programs. I suspect NTSB/FAA are much more effective at correcting bad info than no-fly list which is managed by people who like to think they are fighting so much evil the harms of their policies are justified.
- simple_phrases 6y agoThe No-Fly List[1] has been a two decades long quagmire that has put thousands of people into a situation where they're banned from travelling despite doing nothing wrong.
