most of this sounds like good practice for any company that stores large amounts of sensitive data.
perhaps the features were used inappropriately, but I would hope Uber can remote wipe a laptop, log users out of company systems, or centrally enforce encryption policies.
this line is just silly.
--"Later versions of Ripley gave Uber the ability to selectively provide information to government agencies that searched the company’s foreign offices. At the direction of company lawyers, security engineers could select which information to share with officials who had warrants to access Uber’s systems, the people say"
What is the alternative? Giving law enforcement access to all data without any discretion? Querying ride data for 1 person is technically "selectively provide information", but that seems perfectly acceptable.
