Former Uber lobbyist wants lawmakers to take on big tech

*Former Uber lobbyist Mark MacGann … called on European lawmakers to take on the "disproportionate" and "undemocratic" power held by tech companies* such as Uber.

*He recalled the "almost unlimited finance" executives had to lobby and silence drivers with legal disputes.*

* MacGann said it would be unfair for drivers to be required to hire expensive lawyers and go to labour courts to prove they were employees.*

I agree with what he said, but he surely did not mention the injustice of requiring customers to run a nonfree app on a nonfree operating system (iOS or Android), and identifying themselves to pay. This adds up to tracking the public's movements — something that a free society must ensure no one can do.
