All of the examples you gave are wrong (as in, bad behaviour, rather than incorrect!) but it's worth noting that they are tactics similar to those employed by many other groups seeking to create pressure in other situations - including by taxi drivers fighting against the ride-sharing companies.
Demonstrations, blocking streets, keeping stories in the press - all time -honoured tactics. I guess the outrage here is a private for-profit organsation adopting such behaviour more usually associated with political parties and pressure groups?
- carapace 4y agoRule #1 in monkey business: don't get caught! Seriously though, this kind of BS is not normal corporate behavior. When they do it to individuals it's a huge scandal. E.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsafe_at_Any_Speed#Industry_response https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsafe_at_Any_Speed#Industry_r... or Or more recently https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBay_stalking_scandal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBay_stalking_scandal This is effectively Uber at war with multiple sovereign and local governments. It's fucking insane.
