Once data is in the hands of NYC, it can be freely shared with the federal government.

Once two Federal law enforcement agents decide the information is relevant, Uber will un-freely share with the Federal government.

What's hilarious about this statement to me is that there is a real, transparent political debate happening in NYC right now because the city government wants to prevent data from being shared with the incoming federal government (look up "IDNYC"). Citizens are participating in that actual debate because they can.

I trust my city government far more than I trust Uber to protect my data.

Why do you trust your city government ? I cant see any one fighting the feds and winning here. I wouldnt trust either.

Once data is in the hands of uber, it can also be shared with the government.
