The govs are now attempting to shutdown uber..
The push to shutdown all online sites they dislike only push the desire for open bazzar more.
IMO this could lead to a push in the want for decentralization so the govs don't stand a chance.

This is quite terrible, I don't think that they understand what they are doing.
Are people who Carpool going to require a license from now on? Do they need background checks? Maybe we should shutdown the government because of individual politicians indiscretions.
What about all the Crimes commited by Taxi Drivers? Maybe we should protest in the same way, I don't remember such background checks ever being done by Drivers that rent vehicles with Taxi licenses.

Can not speak about Spain, but I am very much aware of the case in India. Uber simply did not do what they said the authorities that they'll do for customer safety. They hired a driver without police verification and said the authority that they only accept drivers after verification. This is clear cheating with customers. Their charge is far higher than normal taxi service in India and they are not giving value against customer's money. There have been multiple cases lodged against them for consumer protection and if they dont comply to the laws of consumer protection, THEY SHOULD BE BANNED FROM INDIA.

Uber is banned in ONE city in India.A judge has ordered taxi booking service Uber to immediately stop operating in Spain, after a series of protests by taxi associations.
In his ruling on the temporary ban, the judge said Uber drivers didn't have official authorisation to drive their cars and was "unfair competition".
The move follows a complaint by the Madrid Taxi Association ( ! ).
The Spanish ban comes just a day after Uber was blacklisted in the Indian capital Delhi. http://www.bbc.com/news/business-30395093please also ban ebay because there are scammers! please also ban paypal, because they fuck their own customers all day and keep their money for no reason. please ban pornsites because some try to infect my computer with maleware. please ban online shops, because some cheat and steal your money without sending stuff....or ban the Internet and we are all free and happy!
(note: its just plain stupid to ban Uber just because 1 Uber driver is a criminal. also normal registered taxidrivers killed and raped customers in the past.)
its like in the early days of the internet..."bad internet, be carefull! dont go there!"

U r trying to oversimplify the issue here. Uber said they do police verification, whereas they dint. Uber costs far more than normal taxi service in India. Why will customer pay extra for false claim ? This is a case where authorities are taking correct step.

If a country bans Uber, that would be a great news for freedom. I just can't understand how some people can enjoy this service. It's like having the CIA watching all your moves. Taxis are anonymous and you can pay cash, that's what I like.

Seems like a massive over-reaction, it's like banning breathing so you cant get lung cancer. Maybe common-sense will prevail...

not everyone needs a cloud of anonymity, in fact, the majority of the public does not care about their privacy until they lose it. Uber is a brilliant service, and I think that can be demonstrated by their success. Methinks you might be a little paranoid, but maybe you have reason .

Taxi unions must be shitting themselves but why would governments care or try to shut down car pool services?

The Taxi Mafia can bribe the govt to ban Uber and prohibit ridesharing all they like. Decentralized transportation networks like LaZooz cannot be stopped...

Gov't responding to the desires of vocal constituents. I think that's pretty normal. Not that it's necessarily correct, but I think it is the way things normally work.

I completely agree. An industry is being changed massively, it'd be crazy if it didn't go down without a fight.

This is what happens when you threaten a long standing industry. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

There was a story here in Australia this week about some bloody do gooders making citizens arrest on Uber drivers, probably hired by the taxi operators.
