It's not a matter of hating Uber.

It's a matter of looking at everything Uber right now with wariness in the light of multiple, public comments that indicate a complete lack of respect for their customers, their privacy, 'oppo' journalists, and even their competitors.

This is not simply a matter of capitalism at its best, or competitive assertiveness. This backlash could be viewed as a market correction against a company that has actually gone out of its way to bully everyone around.

Can you imagine what will happen if Uber gets the monopoly it's after? The entrenched taxi companies will seem positively benign. Even Microsoft never did the things Uber is explicitly stating that it is doing or trying to do.
