When tiktok did this, politicians took that as a sign to further ban efforts. When does uber get banned?
When it stops being American and stops bribing American politicians, obvs.
Fuck Uber with a broken glass-encrusted dildo. Those Randroid douchebags can die in a fire made of fires.
no need to kink shame
Why tf is Uber notifying people of anything not directly related to a ride they’ve ordered??
Walmart near me has put up signs at the check out complaining about some tax.
If I ever went to my local Walmart, I’d turn them around.
If you knock them over, they’ll get fixed faster.

Outrageous!
It should be a progressive tax topping out way higher than that!
This has to be illegal and if it isn’t it should be.
If you have money, legality means nothing. Uber has money.
For some reason tech companies get a pass on a ton of regulations just because they’re a different form of whatever they’re replacing.
“No no no Ubers not a taxi service it’s an app. toooootally different…” /s
Looks like an app notification
They can send notifications through their app (which you installed and very probably accepted to in the terms and conditions) without any legal concern so yeah no.
Even if you try fighting it they’ll just say hey it’s your phone man just uninstall the app
Public transit is a direct threat to their shareholders.
But isn’t trying to influence public policy illegal?
I don’t think so.
When my city had a soda tax, every fucking store put a sign out calling it a war on poor people tax. But it was a $0.10 increase on sugary drinks to add to the educational budget.
Or maybe it is illegal but I live in a shit hole country.
I live in Taiwan and I don’t think it’s legal for companies to sway policy.
Ah yeah so definitely America is a shit hole country.
In what country? It’s pretty normal to see companies lobbying for policy here, or urging people to sign petitions.
I don’t know. It just feels like something like this shouldn’t be legal
In most of the world it is, and seeing how where it is not is developing, that is a vert god thing.
“Secret” yet this was likely voted on at the ballot.
Uber has been fucked since the very beginning.

Oh no private equity isn’t getting it’s way.
If it is so secret how come you know about it
“Everyone in the city”. Hyperbole much? They didn’t send it to every single person in the city.
I think you might have taken it a bit too literally. It’s clearly an uber push notification, so the implication is that everyone in the city (who uses uber and has the app installed) got a notification.
You know what is hyperbole? Calling it a secret tax hike.
Or deliberately misquoting somebody to change the scope of their statement. “Everyone” is not in op post, unless he edited it out. I’m on op side here, though 😝
Not that i care that much about there being an exaggeration, but “Everyone” is literally in the title of the post? Or are you referring to the push notification as ‘the op post’??
