I literally didn't ask, I said Whataboutism and "Both Sides" bullshit needs to die.

But for some reason that makes the Uber Defenders League on HackerNews come out of the woodworks to say whatever they can to make Waymo look like the villain in a story whose entire contents is that Uber's lawyers withheld key evidence to Waymo's case and is operating a nightmarish "Competitive Intelligence" group like a 21st century foreign Intelligence Agency, on top of what we already know about police counterintelligence like Greyball.

That makes me truly have to wonder if Uber's also operating an Astroturfing/"Grassroots" staff too.


In my defense, the initial tweets were scant on the details, and could have been... Somewhat reasonable corporate policies mis-construed for public outrage.

Uber not forthcoming with this information during discovery is another story.

It is THE story.
