The next blow in line for UBER: they are officially a transportation provider

“by ruling that Uber is a transportation, and not a digital, service, Europe’s highest court has made it difficult, if not impossible, for Uber to develop so-called peer-to-peer services, which allow almost anyone with a car to use the company’s technology to collect paying customers Such services, which are available in the United States, are a major component of Uber’s future business plans as it looks to upend the traditional taxi industry — a strategy that, at least in Europe, will come to an end.”

“The pan-European ruling against Uber is based on a complaint brought by a taxi group in Barcelona that was originally filed in 2014 and claimed that the ride-booking company represented unfair competition because it did not comply with the same rules that applied to existing taxis.”

On the other hand, the attractiveness and value of the advertising spaces increase with the amount and detail of user data,” Mundt said. “It is therefore precisely in the area of data collection and data use where Facebook, as a dominant company, must comply with the rules and laws applicable in Germany and Europe.” https://www.wired.com/story/germany-facebook-antitrust-ruling/
