The headline of this is that it was implemented in response to a legal police search that resulted in uber getting banned in a country because it was breaking the law. It was then repeatedly used to obstruct justice.

This wouldn't be news if I told you that Intel makes its engineers encrypt their hard disks and require passwords on wake and insist no one leave their computer unlocked.

The news here is that they're using this technology specifically for obstruction of justice.

It's not the technology in question, it's the decision to use it for this specific purpose.
