> The 'Uber Files' leak reveals the power of the company’s multimillion-pound lobbying effort – and how it worked with governments across the world to undercut workers’ rights. The amazing thing is the brazen twists of logic that laws protecting taxi monopolies that price gouge consumers are somehow ethical, and that Uber is somehow unethical in challenging those laws. Existing taxi drivers don't have a 'right' to not compete. > ‘Violence guarantee[s] success,’ said CEO Travis Kalanick after some executives expressed reservations about a plan to send drivers to a 2016 protest in Paris where they could be attacked.
