Uber is sharing driver and rider data with public health officials to aid in contract tracing

an initiative to share user data on drivers or riders who may have come into contact with coronavirus-infected individuals with global public health officials to aid contact tracing efforts.

According to Uber, public health officials can visit their Portal — an enhanced version of the Law Enforcement Response Portal launched in 2017 to help process police requests — to fill out questions and request data about users with confirmed cases of coronavirus. Based on the guidance of these public health officials, Uber can then take actions like temporarily suspending a coronavirus-infected user's account for 14 days.

For context, when contacted by a public health official, Uber notifies the user in question and provides them with the contact information of the public health official's department so that they can gather more information.Uber's service could help track infected individuals in states where coronavirus cases are rising — but its data may only be useful among certain demographics, like younger cohorts.

Uber paying airport-issued tickets using drivers' wages: report - Business InsiderBusiness Insider is a fast-growing business site with deep financial, media, tech, and other industry verticals. Launched in 2007, the site is now the largest business news site on the web. Airports generally have contracts with taxi services. Uber rolls up with no contract so they get charged fees. If uber didn’t tell their drivers, that’s just unacceptable. Drivers take off trade dress because if they get into an accident, the police report won’t say Uber vehicle. Most are committing insurance fraud!
