  One could argue that those events have not changed Uber policy, except for conciliatory blog posts. Uber, in their infinite wisdom, have chosen to lobby for legal changes in the court of public opinion, rather than working directly with regulators. Such an approach requires maximum public visibility to gain new riders before the service is shut down, in order to garner public support for reversal of court rulings. This playbook has been consistently applied in many cities globally. Cities and activists need to develop defensive strategies which do not play directly into Uber's campaign for maximum public visibility.
