Faced with a “feedback” box to complete when deleting her Uber account, Laura Ball didn’t hesitate to share her thoughts. “Any type of support or legitimizing of Trump and his tactics, essentially for me is, I think I used the word, abhorrent,” she told Metro.
The 25-year-old Torontonian is lending her voice to a growing chorus dumping the ride-hailing app and rallying around the “deleteUber” hashtag. Ball had been a loyal user for more than two years — catching rides a few times a week as a cheaper and more accessible alternative to cabs.
But, on Saturday, she heard about Uber breaking the New York City taxi driver strike on service to JFK airport. Cabbies were refusing rides in solidarity with those detained under President Donald Trump’s travel ban on people from seven Muslim-majority countries.
