Queer research participants wanted!
As part of my PhD #research, I’m conducting a qualitative #study on political self-perception among #queer individuals who work as #delivery #riders, #Uber drivers, etc.
If you identify as queer, speak English or German, and have experience working in any of the above, I’d love to hear your perspective!

A California jury says Uber is not liable for the sexual assault of a woman who said she was attacked by her driver on a ride she ordered through the app. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/10/01/uber-us-trial-driver-sexual-assault/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #uber #us #sexcrimes
"For example, I think Google [NZ] pays out about 95-97% of all the revenue that it earns [in "service fees" to the parent company] ... and FaceBook would be very similar, Uber would be. The percentages vary, but it's most of it, in all cases."

#Uber has now started doing this insidious thing where they show a longer route to calculate a higher fare, but then use a much shorter route *immediately afterward* for the actual trip. 😠
The app doesn’t let you contest the fare & doesn’t let you connect to a human. 😡

What a massively sleazy company Uber is -- see this breakdown of how it profits by systematically screwing drivers and riders.

Take a taxi, if you can still find one.
@dangillmor I have the impression that #Uber works out quite well for customers as well as drivers in #Brazil. The drivers appear pretty happy with their work.

My first book is out in paperback! I shared some thoughts on ROAD TO NOWHERE now that it’s been out for a few years, and despite what I might have worried when I was writing it, it remains as relevant as ever.

🚨 The paperback version of ROAD TO NOWHERE is out today!
Silicon Valley promised it would make transport better for everyone; their initiatives delivered nothing of the sort, while delaying real solutions.

Insane.
I’m reading the book by Marietje Schaake.
She mentions Uber’s Greyball program.
I had almost forgotten about it.
‘Once [Uber’s] software had spotted users close to law enforcement offices, the user was promptly served a different, tailor-made experience in a parallel app named Greyball… this made it nearly impossible for those users to get a ride.’
