How does Uber violate privacy? People are carrying their phones at all times, so THE BIG BROTHER knows where everyone is anyway.



Not everyone carries a phone, not everyone activates it at all time. An one massive unconscionable data leak doesn't justify others.

But since you ask, there was "God View":

"'God View': Uber Allegedly Stalked Users For Party-Goers' Viewing Pleasure" (Kashmir Hill)

Uber is a phone app ... so everyone who calls Uber does carry a phone.


Well then, there's one of the problems.

Again: not everyone carries a phone.

"An one" in my earlier reply should have been "And one"
