1. Leaked Uber files suggest company used covert tech to thwart raids
Leaked documents suggest Uber used a "kill switch" and other covert technology to prevent European regulators from examining the ride-hailing company's business practices as it challenged taxi services around the world, according to more than 124,000 documents known as the Uber files that were leaked to Britain's The Guardian. During this period, The Washington Post reported Sunday, Uber faced raids so frequent that it provided a Dawn Raid Manual to instruct employees how to react if authorities arrived, with directives such as "Move the Regulators into a meeting room that does not contain any files" and "Never leave the Regulators alone," the Post reported.
