Operating unlicensed taxis and hotels was clearly illegal at the time Uber and Airbnb came along. Was subsequently legal-washed via lobbying efforts. If one looks closely enough and beyond personal bias, one can see it in numerous companies. For example, all social has participated in censorship by proxy programs with the US Federal Government. It seemed for a time that X was beyond that but there are now occurrences that look as though they are on board too.

Because nobody but you and I and about 200 other people even care about this.
