hopefully, it is just incompetence, not evil.

When it comes to Uber, I think the default is to assume malice unless we can prove it is incompetence.

Yeah, I'm afraid that in Uber's case this is what you must assume. Normally I don't default to such a state, I honestly feel that most times it's just incompetence within an organization, but in Uber's case they have been a bad actor for a long time now so they just can't be trusted.

I won't be using Uber, ever.

I'm a latecomer to this situation, what have Uber done in the past to earn that reputation? Genuine question.

Uber us quite literally a supervillain! They've done almost every despicable thing in the tech industry. Sabotage, illegal practices etc al. That's why this is actually big on HN. With uber, shoot first then ask questions later!

GP was talking about the Android permissions system, not Uber.
