Twitter = our kind of people. Cab drivers = other people.
Also, the fact that Twitter can protect itself and cab drivers need the government to protect their rights goes against the libertarian ideology of HN's majority.
And don't forget that outside our bubble, Uber pissed off a lot of people that favor labor and and consumer protection and aren't big fans of American corporations hailing the return to early 20th century exploitation as "innovation".
