alt Hacker NewsThis is pure revenue extraction from American tech. The EU now makes more in fines from American companies than it does in taxes from its own tech industry. It is clearly impossible to fill these roles with humans without breaking the economic case for Uber, which is obviously the goal. Europe is so fucked man.

That's because American tech doesn't pay its fair share of taxes to the EU compared to its revenue.
If it's clearly impossible, how come Uber managed to become compliant in 2022?
Then Uber is fucked. "This is how you do it cheaper" isn't an escape hatch, and we shouldn't accept terrible behavior just because it's cheaper.
Disclaimer: I briefly worked for Uber and quit in disgust
American tech companies just have a hard time operating in a legal system that isn’t bought and paid for.
