It is foolish to fully rely on UpWork on any other similar websites without strong legal representation in place.

Threatening legal action against UpWork gets you far in these situations.

These SV companies think they can do whatever they want and sometimes need a harsh reality check that they must obey laws, especially as more and more people depend on them.

I can't wait for GDPR and alike to start regulating these atrocities against privacy, security and fraud like behaviour.

If anyone from UpWork is reading this, know that not I only I have personally closed my account, I will do everything in my power to keep hard working, honest engineers from your platform.

And help them in any shape or form should they seek litigation against you.
