Egypt is passing a law to require that Uber hand over its surveillance data on passengers and their movements to the state.

The US already has such a law, the PAT RIOT Act, and the FBI could be ordering Uber to do this every 5 minutes for all we know.

These governments demonstrate ill will toward the people, but it is Uber that creates the opportunity that tempts them to act.

We must eliminate systems that track people's movements, such as Uber and Lyft. Lyft is much nicer than Uber in other ways, but it is no different in surveillance.
