Uber mobilizes customers to channel its message to authorities
As Uber grows in number and popularity, regulators face a new lobbying group: Uber Mobile app users who love Uber. 

Uber haven't used any of the tactics in India officially, except Drivers in Delhi protested against ban in NCR region.  Uber is not shy about marshaling those constituencies to lobby public officials who have threatened moves that would hurt Uber's business.

Uber operates in 18 cities in India and more then 300 cities worldwide. Uber faces all , support and hate, welcome and ban. Uber is building its biggest facility in Hyderabad with the help of Telangana Govt outside US. Uber gets Delhi HC relief in capital region. Uber keeps expanding all over the world each week. Still there are many events when it faced ban, hate and challenging time in several parts of the world. Here's a rundown of the digital protest campaigns Uber has set in motion:

July 2015
Uber takes a swipe at New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio by adding a "De Blasio's Uber" feature to its app. The app shows long wait times or no Uber rides. Customers are redirected to a petition opposing a cap proposed by de Blasio on the total number of Uber drivers in the city.

April 2015
Uber emails customers across California urging them to sign a petition against a bill requiring random drug testing and fingerprint checks for drivers. When electronically signed, the petition automatically sends pre-written email to customers' local Assembly members.

February 2015
After Virginia allows services like Uber to operate there, the company posts on its website the Twitter handles of key legislators who supported the bill, telling customers to send them a special thank-you.

August 2014

How can you regain access of your Uber account once it's disabled?

Q. How can you regain access of your Uber account once it's disabled?

Recently uber had this scheme of "refer someone, that refferal gets 600 credits and you get 600 when he makes his/her first ride".

I made many people join , though all refferals were real and accounts were created with their permission and presence but all accounts were created from my phone .

I earned many credits. But soon my account was closed down.
Now whenever I try logging in from any acount in my phone  it gets banned within few minutes.

Is there any solution or any hack to avoid this and get my acount back ? I still have 5k credits left in my account and I desperately want it.
