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.

    And this isn't a dingy backwater.

    It's common for people who live in dingy backwaters to think they don't live in dingy backwaters.
