Personally, I wouldn’t be cheering. I’m of the mind that if you’re going to do business in a country, you can’t choose to ignore the local laws and expect zero repercussions.

That said, do I care that Uber built this system, nope! But I would laugh if it backfired on them and got them into more legal trouble.
