In think it is perfectly fine for your country to block Uber. In the US, I want to see laws evolve to suit my political/economic beliefs. The "loopholes" are complicated beyond just the letter of the law.



It's not clear what exactly you're arguing. The loophole isn't all that complicated: Uber is effectively an employer by any reasonably consistent judgement. They've decided to unilaterally declare their employees independent contractors, a designation that's been challenged in multiple jurisdictions, in an effort to skirt labor law.

If you're saying the loophole is a good thing because it suits your "political/economic beliefs", that's fine, but that doesn't make it not a loophole.
