Uber’s Milestone & Social Media’s Anti-Hate Report Card 8/01/23

Uber reported a milestone in its second-quarter results: its first operating profit. CEO Dara Khosrowshahi comments on this big news, plus Uber’s first quarter of free cash flow over $1 billion and its outlook for Q3. He also discusses competing with Lyft, rising prices for passengers, and ambitions of building a “super app.” Jonathan Greenblatt, Anti-Defamation League CEO, discusses the ADL’s new report card that grades social media platforms on how well they protect users from online hate and harassment; spoiler, it’s mostly Cs and Ds, plus one F. A brightly lit “X” sign that was briefly installed atop Twitter headquarters in San Francisco has been taken down, but it was lit long enough to catch headlines.
