Uber does make campaign donations [1]. To suggest it's all about 'spreading information' seems naive at best, if not dishonest.

    Garcetti had a $250,000 campaign contribution from Uber
    (or the CEO) in his run for the LA Mayor

    Drischler had ordered the apps to shut down service in L.A.
    soon before Garcetti took office. But the day Garcetti took
    over, his office ordered Drischler to stop talking to the media.

Is Uber bribing state & city politicians?
