The taxi-hailing service Uber has come under intense scrutiny over the past year over allegations of sexual harassment and discrimination

The leak, dubbed the Uber files, consists of over 124,000 documents spanning the period between 2013 and 2017. The documents were leaked to the Guardian and shared with the international consortium of investigative journalists (ICIJ).

Uber has responded to the leak in a post on its website. Ceo Dara Khosrowshahi took over following founder Travis Kalanick’s resignation in 2017.

The leak’shows how Uber tried to shore up support by discreetly courting prime ministers, presidents, billionaires, oligarchs and media barons’.

An article from the Washington Post reveals Uber’s alleged use of a’kill switch’ to shut off the company’s computer systems. The report includes citations from a’dawn raid manual’ that included a bullet point mentioning to’never leave the regulators alone’.

Report focuses on French president telling CEO he could reform laws in the company’s favor. ex-eu commissioner Neelie Kroes was negotiating to join its advisory board before leaving her last European post.

‘we have not and will not make excuses for past behavior that is clearly not in line with our present values,’ says Jill hazelbaker. Instead, we ask the public to judge us by what we’ve done over the last five years and what we will do in the years to come,’ she writes.
