Okay, so I know I’m not the only one writing about what the Twitter

using questionable ethics, quoted Uber's senior vice president's
off-the-record discussion about using data collected from its services
to go after its enemies.
But this isn't the only time the media has
focused on what many sources have been calling a culture problem at Uber, particularly its questionable use of customer data.
