Just to be accurate, Austin didn’t “ban” Uber. They passed a finger-print requirement and Uber pulled out of Austin. I have no love for Austin (lived there for 15 years) but I do love the truth.

The finger printing is the public hook.

One of the big issues was data sharing. Uber wants to sell its data. Austin wanted the data for free.
