That's nice you believe that, except for the fact that only a few years ago Uber tracked the location of a Buzzfeed journalist from God mode, and was accordingly fined for it.[1]

In 2014, senior executive Emil Michael suggested using their service to dig up dirt on reporters.[2]

They further tracked a Buzzfeed reporter when she was late to a meeting with one of their executives, without her permission.[3]

The Uber data science team once used sensitive customer data to find a correlation between their ride data and prostituion, which was highlighted when it was quietly taken down.[4] Lest you think this was a one-off blog, then I refer you to the one entitled "Rides of Glory" [5] that tracked the one-night stands of their riders (you just can't make this shit up).[6]

At Uber's Boston launch party they thought it would be hilarious to track 30 users in what they dubbed "Creepy Stalker View", and one executive, Chris Sims, was shown travelling around in a car - live - causing him to quit the service in outrage.[7]
