#Deleteuber - Twitter Hashtag

24 days ago

@Uber #costofliving UBER IS A RIDICULOUS PIECE OF SHIT MONEY GRUBBING THIEF!!! They've used the greatest inflationary economic debacle in 50 years to wage war on the financial wellbeing of drivers and their families. It's time we return the favor. #deleteUber #boycottUb

Juin 2017. Travis Kalanick, PDG d’Uber, est éjecté. Et personne n’est surpris. En 6 mois, il a empilé les crises : campagne #DeleteUber, témoignage de Susan Fowler sur le harcèlement sexuel en interne, vidéo virale où il engueule un de ses propres chauffeurs, scandale Greyball…

Can I double like everything you say? Back in the day I swear I had it down to $3–$5 in SF, when #DeleteUber was trending.. cheaper than the bus, mind you. Now that Uber’s priced others out, going 1 mile in SF costs $25–$35!! This is sooo coming, we will all be paying high prices for our subscription

@surreykiwi @Anthony23Bryant @DuncanBannatyne Plus you got there safely without a possible life shattering experience in an Uber! Remember that TFL can only criminal check the driver from the time they got in the UK. A serial sex offender flees his country and then he’s driving you home. #deleteuber

Interesting perspective. Agree this is a #DeleteUber moment for OpenAI. Sam Altman played his cards very badly.

I was at Uber in 2017 when #DeleteUber happened. Almost a decade later, I'm watching the same movie play out on how consumers choose with their wallets in response to the actions the DoW took against Anthropic this weekend. Same administration. Same pressure to bend the knee. Very different ending. When Trump signed his travel ban executive order in January 2017, NYC taxi drivers staged a strike at JFK Airport in protest. Uber turned off surge pricing - not to break the strike, but to avoid price gouging people during chaos. It didn't matter. Activists interpreted it as strike-breaking. Travis joined the president's economic advisory council, trying to smooth things over. The calculus was: keep access, minimize damage. It was the wrong bet. 200,000 people deleted the app. You can't recover trust that way once you've lost it. Now at Anthropic, there’s the same pressure from the administration, but I’m watching the movie play out differently. Anthropic drew two hard lines: No mass domestic surveillance. No fully autonomous weapons. When pressured to move those lines by the administration, the leadership at Anthropic held steadfast. It’s one thing to put values on a wall. It’s another to make hard decisions in service of them - decisions that cost you commercially, that invite criticism, that require real courage when a powerful institution is telling you to back down. Most companies discover, under that kind of pressure, that their values were performative. What’s currently playing out is a demonstration on how trust actually works: Claude just hit #1 on the App Store today. Not because Anthropic is perfect, but because Anthropic is principled. "No amount of intimation will change our position on mass domestic surveillance or fully autonomous weapons because it's incompatible with our democratic values." The First Amendment exists so citizens can hold their government accountable. The moment AI enables mass surveillance of its own people, that accountability disappears. That's not a line we'll cross for any revenue upside. Uber learned this the hard way. Anthropic chose the principled path. The public noticed and are choosing with their wallets and downloading Claude. This is the thing about integrity - it's not a PR strategy, you have to actually live by your values. As the Al frontier advances, we are entering unprecedented territory. More than ever, a commitment to ensure that powerful AI remains beneficial to humanity beyond profits is critical. The real test of values isn't what you say when things are easy. It's what you do when a powerful institution is telling you to back down. Today and everyday, I am proud of the integrity of the team at Anthropic and I am proud to say I work at Anthropic.

Today’s “boycott ChatGPT” vibe feels a lot like #DeleteUber in 2017. Real anger, specifically at a founder, and loud exits to competition. The big difference? This isn’t a two-car race. Gemini and Claude were already gaining share, and moments like this just accelerate switching.

Bolt nació como Taxify, una app que prometía apoyar al taxi y ofrecer una alternativa a Uber. Miles de taxistas confiaron en ese proyecto, se registraron, lo promovieron y le dieron credibilidad. Gracias al taxi, @boltapp creció y pudo expandirse en Europa. Hoy, su directivo Daniel Georges publica un artículo atacando la #LeydelTaxi en Barcelona, acusando a la ciudad de “estancarse” mientras defiende el modelo #VTC y los #Vehículosautónomos. Olvida deliberadamente que el taxi es un servicio público regulado, que garantiza seguridad, cobertura, seguros y control, algo que las plataformas nunca han querido asumir. Esto no es innovación. Esto es utilizar al taxi para crecer y después intentar desmontar sus leyes cuando ya no les conviene. Es exactamente el mismo camino que siguió Free Now, que empezó como app del taxi y hoy, bajo el nombre de #Lyft, se ha alineado con el modelo de plataformas que precariza conductores y presiona regulaciones. El taxi no se estanca: cumple la ley, protege al usuario y responde ante cualquier accidente. Las plataformas, en cambio, externalizan riesgos, juegan con vacíos legales y luego señalan a la regulación como el problema. Atacar la Ley del Taxi después de haber crecido gracias a los taxistas no es progreso. Es traición.@cronicaglobal @sdanierojas #TaxienLucha #MejorenTaxi

En 2017, la situación era insostenible y el hashtag #DeleteUber se hizo viral tras acusaciones de boicotear huelgas. Los inversores, temiendo perder su dinero, dieron un golpe de Estado y forzaron a Kalanick a dimitir de su propia empresa.
