Uber Technologies Inc on Tuesday released its first ever transparency report detailing the information requested by not only U.S. law enforcement agencies, but also by regulators.
The ride-sharing company said that between July and December 2015, it had provided information on more than 12 million riders and drivers to various U.S. regulators and on 469 users to state and federal law agencies.
A large number of the law enforcement requests were related to fraud investigations or the use of stolen credit cards, according to the report.
Uber said it had not received any national security letters or orders under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance act.

“Uber said it had not received any national security letters or orders under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance act.”
And they would not be able to say if they had.
That is an unbelievable number. Uber must simply turn over everything at the drop of a hat, again and again.
How many drivers and riders did they have in the same time period?
“And they would not be able to say if they had.”
Secret courts enforcing secret law, executed by secret police. That’s the new American way! If you only knew what THEY knew, you would be grateful.... Jack Bauer... If you see something say something! /s
By the way, I think I see something suspicious.
America is so free because so many of our freedoms have been curtailed in the name of security.

Really? 12 million credit cards were fraudulently used?
lesson: pay cash when using uber, don’t give any names, and give an address a door or two down from the real one.
No Uber for me...
You cannot pay cash using Uber...
