As Uber’s reach widens, so do the company’s legal troubles.
Several Southeast Asian countries are questioning Uber’s legality in light of allegations that a driver raped a young female passenger in India.
New Delhi has banned the ride-sharing service, and Thailand soon followed suit. The company is also facing scrutiny in Vietnam, Singapore, and Indonesia. And Indian police are reportedly considering taking legal action against Uber, saying the company hasn’t run proper background checks.
