A comment on Uber Executive Suggests Digging Up Dirt on Journalists.

Just looking at my uber rides, I am pretty certain Uber could already infer some interesting facts about my life.

Cross-referencing with geo-data, time, and weekly occurences, I am pretty sure Uber could infer who's in my social circle, and under which category (coworker, wife, arm-candy...)

The day Uber links its userbase with Facebook we are doomed.

Seeing as Uber now has distinct ties to Google, I doubt that they are an acquisition target for FB.
