More than 124,000 documents reveal Uber's "atrocities"! Executive: Playing is illegal
Uber, a giant in the global travel industry, was exposed to use various "illegal" means to achieve global expansion in the five years from 2013 to 2017.
The disclosure documents exceeded 124,000, pointing out three of Uber's deadly sins:
First, it lobbied multinational politicians to change local taxi industry regulations to remove regulatory thresholds for Uber's implementation in the region.
According to the documents disclosed, the politicians involved include, but are not limited to, French President Macron, current US President Biden, German Chancellor Scholz, and former British Chancellor of the Exchequer Osborne.
French President Emmanuel Macron appears to have spared no effort to help Uber, with leaked documents showing that Macron even told Uber that he had reached a secret "deal" with opponents in the French cabinet.
Second, Uber drivers are encouraged to participate in the protests.
A disclosure document shows Travis-Kalanick told other executives at an internal exchange that it was worth sending Uber drivers to France for the protests, while also putting down the words:
Violence is a guarantee of success.
Uber executives were skeptical about such behavior because the protests could expose Uber drivers to the risk of violence from the taxi industry.
Finally, avoid regulatory risks with Kill Switch.
In order to prevent the police from perhaps having relevant data, Uber has developed a "one-click destruction" internally, which allows the company's executives to send instructions directly to IT staff to cut off access to the data system, according to the disclosure documents.
A spokesman for Travis Kalanick at the time said such one-click destruction agreements were a common business practice and did not obstruct justice.
According to the leaked documents, Uber's entire management was aware of the above behavior at the time, and some executives had compared Uber to pirates, while another executive admitted:
We are breaking the law.
