"They're no worse than your run of the mill tech company"

So media should stop reporting on possible bad actions by Uber?

Excess coverage or not, the media exposed discrimination and harassments at Uber that led to the company changing for the better.

It is disproportionately against Uber especially on HN. I haven't seen an article here about child labour in hardware companies in forever, but I definitely don't see them daily like Uber seems to have.

It is because the numbers involved (and a little bit the blatant corrupt attitude by the former CEO). Uber by design was created to break laws and hustle (and had a lot of issues with sexual issues for example as well).

Seems like the current CEO is good, but the company gets the good and the bad from it's history. The good part is that they got a ton of money, like inconceivable amounts of money.
