Comment on Uber C.E.O. To Leave Trump Advisory Council After Criticismparent

However, #deleteuber seems to have been remarkably effective.

That's great... but it's not even clear Uber did anything wrong.

They disabled surge pricing, and people interpreted it as trying to break the strike.

If they hadn't disabled surge pricing it would seem like they were profiting off the protests/strike, as has happened in the past.

Should Uber, the company, have forced it's drivers to strike by disallowing pickups at JFK? If so, why aren't people equally upset with Lyft for also not doing that?

Sure, but doesn't that prove the point? It doesn't matter how legitimate your protest is, just that you have leverage, which the #deleteuber crowd did.
