Uber and Lyft driver dropped for 'secretly recording passengers on Twitch'

A former Uber and Lyft driver has been dropped from both platforms after it was revealed that he secretly livestreamed his passengers online. Jason Gargac, a 32-year-old aspiring police officer from Missouri, would regularly broadcast his rides to thousands of subscribers on the livestreaming service Twitch, according to local reports. His riders – of which there were reportedly more than 700 in the last four months – rarely knew they were being broadcast. I'm embarrassed," one passenger told the St Lous Post-Dispatch, who first reported the story. "We got in an Uber at 2am to be safe, and then I find out that because of that, everything I said in that car is online and people are watching me.
