There's a problem with Uber deactivating driver accounts,@sairaspooks gymleadersaira sex video and the company is taking steps to change that.
In a company blog post on Monday, Uber announced some new initiatives to help drivers and delivery people who feel their accounts were deactivated — basically the equivalent of getting fired — for unfair reasons. Drivers allege that they can lose their accounts due to false accusations of wrongdoing by riders who might be looking for an easy refund.

More vaguely, Uber is rolling out some kind of functionality that can supposedly identify users who regularly (and, ideally, falsely) report driver incidents, to stop those ratings from being counted against drivers. The blog post did not provide any technical details as to how this actually works.
