This is a major story about @Uber that is not getting enough attention 👇
For quite some time, Uber has been well aware that they have a MASSIVE safety problem.
A growing number of their drivers have been accused of (and convicted for) sexually assaulting passengers.
Yet instead of actually addressing this issue and giving a damn about customer safety, they went on the offensive AGAINST VICTIMS.
They actively targeted and “trashed” victims, looking to both silence them and stories about them — while simultaneously running a bunch of woke marketing bullshit claiming to care about women.
One exec even said in a Slack message found during the lawsuit: “I trashed rape victims to USA Today…”
Let that sink in. That’s who we’re dealing with here. Absolute scum.
And now they’re being taken to court by victims, thousands of victims and they’re losing, badly — being forced to pay out millions in damages.
And we’re just scratching the surface, there’s still *thousands of cases* yet to be litigated.
I hope more of these verdicts keep coming.
I hope more of these victims get the justice they deserve.
I hope this disgusting company, that looked the other way, is fined so much it hurts.
And I hope the execs who actively targeted and “trashed” victims are bankrupted.
We, at @ConsumersFirst, have been calling them out for years 👇

Goodness. 19yo woman raped during an Uber ride. The App: Showed a 4.98 star rating. Uber’s Internal AI: Flagged the ride as "High Risk" (0.81/1.0). Uber knew his pattern (late nights/bars) but matched him with a solo woman anyway. Uber's defense argued it wasn't "practical" to warn or block "high-risk" matches because thousands of rides would be canceled. Jury just awarded Jaylynn Dean $8.5M. 3,000+ cases pending.

Leisure centres across the country are becoming crime scenes as sexual predators take advantage of easy access to women and girls getting undressed in the changing room cubicle next to them.
Here we bring you four examples where men have filmed women and girls by sliding a phone under or over a cubicle partition - every one of which could have been prevented if the leisure centre provided single-sex changing rooms for swimmers. 🧵 1/5

"Instead of organic carrots having to be called organic carrots, maybe they could just be called carrots, and carrots grown with chemicals could be called chemical carrots?"
"And maybe those that grow with chemicals have to demonstrate and show the chemicals that were used in the production?"
"If that was on the supermarket packs, I wonder how our behaviour would change."

⚡SHOCKING! Lord Falconer says “pregnancy should not be a bar” to assisted suicide!
After Lord Mackinlay (@cmackinlay) tells Peers that Oregon protects viable unborn babies from assisted suicide, Lord Falconer seems completely unmoved & unbothered about this issue. Extraordinary!
