I wonder if they'll start sharing data on banned passengers. I think this is a much more interesting and nuanced social issue.
A recent viral video this week showed a woman assaulting an Uber driver, she livestreamed on IG to try to justify her actions and in the process said that she would only be using Lyft, then lyft tweeted that they pre-emptively banned her.
If FAANG joined together to make a shared blocked users list, they could effectively make a digital caste system subject to little current government oversight.

- fakedang 6y agoReminds me of that one Black Mirror episode
- belval 6y agoHonestly I think FAANG know better than to try to do something like that. They are already getting closer to regulatory action to limit their influence and some politicians want to see them be broken up. And that's just in the US, if they pull something like that in the EU it's almost certain there would be new laws put in place to inflict heavy fines.

- chii 6y agoand what if they weren't really undesirable, but framed? What if they actually had a case, but the context shows a biased view? That's why we don't rely on the court of public opinion for deciding guiltiness of an accused. What needs to be canceled is cancel cultuer itself.
- throwaway53453 6y agoYeah I'm agreeing. Undesirable wasn't meant to be literal.
