@pecet @Moosader only because these governments enforce *existing* laws and regulations rather than accepting uber because it is innovative techSomething that needs to be done with LLM like #chatgpt that ignore copyright, too.

@pecet @Moosader You don't in the US; each country has different requirements. (This has led to financial ruin for some who owned a medallion in NYC.)And of course Uber's lawyers know what they're doing, so they aren't doing anything illegal, obviously. (for some definition of "illegal", at least?)I think the implication here is someone is annoyed with Uber for... something: bad pay? congestion? crime? Or do people actually like the weird rent-seeking medallion thing?

@pecet @Moosader Uber fought local regulations almost everywhere.They ran without taxi licenses, without commercial driver insurance, without commercial drivers, without complying with commercial driver drug testing, without withholding taxes, and sometimes without even legal registration of the corporation. At one point they had debts for sanctions for refusing to pay court-ordered fines for refusing to obey California regulators.Matryoshka illegal taxi corp

@Moosader@mastodon.gamedev.place calling it "fake money for criminals" doesn't do it justice because crimes are pretty cool :ablobcatbongo:

@Moosader my least favorite is the pervasive, automated surveillance and nuisance generator.
