Italy Bans Uber (thenextweb.com)

Posted by BeauHD on from the expect-the-unexpected dept.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Next Web: A court just banned Uber from using its apps in Italy -- yes, all of Italy. The court ruled in favor of the country's taxi drivers -- who filed the suit -- claiming Uber was "unfair competition." Now Uber can't use it's apps -- including UberBlack, Uber LUX, X, and Select -- and it can't promote or advertise itself at all within the country. For all intents and purposes, Uber is banned in Italy.

    Buggy whips are an exact comparison.

    Only if Uber is a whip user as well. Since this is all about taxi services.

    You are a fucking moron, and evil.

    Speak up, it's hard to hear you when your voice is coming from so deep in your colon.
