Uber Employees Allegedly Warned Another Journalist That Uber Could Look At Her Rider Info

Uber employees allegedly warned San Francisco Magazine editor Ellen Cushing that the company might look at her rider logs while she was researching a story on CEO Travis Kalanick, the magazine reports.

The news comes a day after news broke that an Uber exec suggested the company could spend millions digging up dirt on reporters who wrote negative stories about the company.

Uber CEO Travis Kalanick threw that exec under the bus this morning in a tweet-storm about the incident.

The San Francisco Magazine editor said she doesn't know that Uber looked at her rider data, and admitted that her sources might have simply been "overzealous" in their warnings. But her sources allegedly said it wouldn't be very hard to access the information.
