You should go back and look at some of the Uber posts from when they were still spreading across the US - HN broadly agreed that it was moral to, instead of fighting taxi regulations at the relevant levels (politics or court), just violate them. That HN has stopped being pro-Uber is mostly the result of people realising that Uber is not trustworthy, not a radical change in belief, combined with the fact that Uber apparently gets to do things we as people don't (and believe we shouldn't).
This is one of those places where people will happily sit around and argue that breaking laws is moral and necessary, no matter what the law.
It looks like there are about two of us in that camp, in this discussion, versus pretty much everybody else. It's pretty clear the pendulum has swung and this site is largely oriented towards big government interventionism.
