You’re far more likely to die on the highway or being robbed.

If you are a predator, bring a driver affords you all kinds of opportunities to prey you people that you otherwise would not have. How often are you going to find a young woman walking in a dark park by herself late at night? Compare that to how easy it is to pick one up as an Didi/Uber driver.
At the end of the day, a ride sharing company's users literally entrust their lives to the company. It is the responsibility of the company to act on a way worthy of that trust. If they don't, it is definitely a reasonable response to #deleteDidi.
I mean if anything, it's more an argument that ride-share companies should vet their drivers, do basic background checks .. you know, treat them as real employees instead of this "gig economy" bullshit.
Even then, you're still going to get a psycho in the mix, but at least you can say you attempted to do due diligence.
Didi allegedly did not respond to multiple negative comments about this guy's behavior, nor did they expose these comments to future passengers, which might have flagged him as a threat.
If not for Didi, or if they had been more safety-minded as a company, then this guy would not have had the opportunity to rape and murder this woman, allegedly. That's the argument.
Gasp! They'll know where you live!
Which is just nonsensical. They don't know who you are and don't need a delivery job to find a house to rob.
