They could start banning people they don't like for political reasons, same as payment processors. If people from the other side of the aisle are in power, they could ask Uber to ban illegal aliens.

It's crazy that you won't be able to take public transportation like Uber because of your political beliefs or because of who you are.

Start? Uber already blocked police from using their service in certain jurisdictions.

Not so much ideologically motivated, rather trying to evade the enforcement of local laws.
