Even if they do, @CamFisch makes a great point in this new NYT story, that drivers might not feel they have a choice but to consent if they want to stay in Uber's good graces: https://www.nytimes.com/...

Really interesting privacy question here: Is it better for Uber drivers to decide whether to video-record their passengers (which I see all the time) or for the company to do it and control the video? https://www.nytimes.com/...

Oh, they're already piloting video cameras (no sound) in rides in some areas, through a partnership with a third-party company, per another great @kateconger story: https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...

Worried about Uber's exploration of audio-recording rides? Well looks like video-recording is going to happen. https://www.nytimes.com/...

Would the Uber office workers like to be watched all day? Yeah, we didn't think so. We badly need a union so that we can fight the company when they do yet another shady thing without consulting drivers. https://www.nytimes.com/...

Beyond the passengers, what about the workers whose voices will now be subject to recording? https://twitter.com/...

P.S.: when Uber decides to start recording audio of your rides - and that WaPo article doesn't mention any plans to delete any recordings - those recordings will be accessible to law enforcement, too. https://twitter.com/...

I know this is opt-in, but I still cannot stress enough that reporters (and the people they call) should be very careful having phone calls during Uber rides https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
