I wonder when US gov will take a deeper look at Uber.

It is not only taxi and public transportation laws around the country they "disturb"; I still receive spammy emails they continue to send, and even Sendgrid is fully in bed with them.

I forwarded spam to Sendgrid and they said they will follow up with Uber (so apparently they are Uber's customer support at this point - great!) The spamming practice never changed or stopped despite Sendgrid telling me they will send my email to them (!!) to unsubscribe me from their list, when I didn't even subscribe in the first place.

As I received more Uber spam I kept updating Sendgrid ticked (zendesk). Eventually some 2 weeks later they closed it as "resolved" and never replied to my emails again. I still get Uber Spam from Sendgrid. Stay away from them as long as you can (both Uber and Sendgrid)
