No. Corporations are sacrosanct because private property is holy ground upon which the public may not tread unless invited.
That said, Uber certainly has the data. I'm sure we'll have another weev to expose it for us.
- icebraining 12y agoPretty sure cab companies in NYC are also private.
- saraid216 12y agoYes, but this information didn't come from cab companies. It came from the NYC Taxi & Limo Commission: http://www.nyc.gov/html/tlc/html/home/home.shtml http://www.nyc.gov/html/tlc/html/home/home.shtml
- icebraining 12y agoAnd they got it without treading on the cab companies' property, how?
- saraid216 12y agoI don't know. Ask them.
- icebraining 12y agoOh, but I can tell you: the Commission pushed it, despite protests and even lawsuits from the private cab owners (see Taxi & Limousine Commission v. Hassan El-Nahal). I was just pointing out that this very story disproves your claim that "private property is holy ground upon which the public may not tread unless invited", since that's exactly what happened here, and so I don't see why couldn't Uber also be "convinced" to install the trackers.
- saraid216 12y agoAh, in that case, you're right. We should absolutely require Uber to divulge similar information.
