Uber uses data-mining to identify and block riders who may be cops, investigators or regulators

I’m a driver for Uber (which I am doing my best to get away from) and I am torn. While I want to cut ties with them completely, if I move to another city where they are located, it is a way to make money until I can get an IT job. I also drive for Lyft, but they are not as widespread as Uber.

Curious, does Uber prohibit you from telling your Uber customers to use Lyft? I mean, if they are trying to claim you are independent contractors and they aren’t responsible for your actions, it seems like you should be able to suggest your customers try an alternative platform to contract you.
