This is a company who wrote software to detect and hide from law enforcement, and you think it's not feasible they'd try and come up with a score for how friendly a driver is to unionization? C'mon.

The headline is incorrect - they're not being forced - but it's hardly "fake news" conspiracy theory to speculate that some drivers may feel pressured over this.

The word was 'forced'. You defended it. C'mon yourself.

Speculating what people might be doing, especially when it sounds plausible, then presenting it as fact, is exactly fake news.

My post literally stated (now edited to add "the headline is misleading / clickbaity" to be even more crystal-clear on that point) that they're not technically forced.

[mseebach]

I understand, and I understood before. You're defending the lie by saying that it's only technically incorrect. You do understand that the phrase means that you think it's still substantially correct -- not that it conceivably could be true?

[ceejayoz]

I believe it is substantially correct that Uber and companies like it engage in ethically dubious and legally murky anti-union actions.

I believe it implausible that Uber didn't consider the pressure/intimidation aspect that a daily prompt to listen to their propaganda entails when adding it to the system.
