> That's not the disruptive spirit of Silicon Valley

Well,disruption shouldnt mean,"the hell with the law".San Fransisco might tolerate that,but all the world isnt San Fransisco.

Nobody denies the taxi industry has issues.But in some countries this "disruptive" behavior doesnt last very long.

Other Uber services are still legal in France.They didnt outlaw Uber,just Uber services that violate french laws.

Sorry,but this whole "disrupt" thing is bullshit,especially when on the short run it's just new middlemen trying to replace the old ones.

We've seen it today in Australia,with Uber raising price x4,the challengers are no better than the old guard,it's just a power struggle.
