“#Uber app<\/a>eals $59M California fine over sexual assault data request<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Uber on Wednesday appealed a $59 million fine by a California regulator in a dispute over whether the company should share detailed information on sexual assault and harassment claims reported on its ride-hailing platform.<\/p>\n

The California Public Utilities Commission fined\u00a0Uber\u00a0in December after the company refused to share the information, including full names and contact information, arguing that doing so would violate victims\u2019 rights to privacy.<\/p>\n

On Monday, an anti-sexual abuse group also appealed the decision and supported\u00a0Uber\u2019s \u201ctransparency and commitment to protecting survivors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Uber\u2019s Chief Legal Officer Tony West said during a Tuesday interview that no regulator had previously asked\u00a0Uber\u00a0for personally identifiable information of sexual assault victims, and said the CPUC had not disclosed why it needed the data.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile it may be well intentioned, (contacting those individuals) can lead to the retraumatization of survivors,\u201d West said, adding that\u00a0Uber\u00a0had repeatedly offered to resolve the dispute outside litigation.<\/p>\n

The CPUC did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

In the December order, a CPUC administrative judge said privacy concerns could be addressed by replacing victims\u2019 names with a code to allow commission staff to conduct follow-up investigations, but upheld the $59 million fine against the company.<\/p>\n

The dispute stems from a safety report\u00a0Uber\u00a0released in December 2019, disclosing 6,000 reports of sexual assault related to 2.3 billion trip<\/a>s in the United States in 2017 and 2018.<\/p>\n

That report, aimed at ensuring drivers and the public that\u00a0Uber\u00a0was serious about safety, has put the company in the spotlight. Rival Lyft Inc has promised a similar report, but has yet to release it.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the advocacy group RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network), appealed the CPUC\u2019s order.<\/p>\n

\u201cCompanies should be commended, not penalized, for their transparency and commitment to protecting survivors,\u201d the non-profit wrote in a public filing.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
