It doesn't seem like a bad idea to me. If they're investigating her to mount a smear campaign, getting out in front of it sounds like a good idea. But I'm not a lawyer, so what do I know?

Trying a case via the media to push a large company into a settlement is hardly a new strategy, especially with a company like Uber that's getting large amounts of bad PR.

Care to elaborate?

#6Umm, okay. I would fully expect this. Ms. Fowler seems to be a large liability for Uber. I don't find it unreasonable that "Uber has a law firm investigating ", if for no other reason than to find what she knew and when she knew it (or something along those lines), were she to sue what are the potential ramifications, et. al.
IOW, I'm not going to run in circles over a seven word tweet that could mean about anything.

#7Not surprising. Depressing, but not at all surprising.

that, or they're giving her a sweetheart deal (i.e. low/no fee) because her case is high profile and they can write it off as an advertising expense.

#9I'm pretty clueless about the law, but I don't really see what case Uber has against her. How could they prove that she's the one that resulted in account deletions?
Even if you suppose she's the one to blame, if what she claimed is true then wouldn't their point be moot?

#10I had an extended exchange with an Uber employee the other day, in which he steadfastly refused to believe that Uber was going after Fowler after the initial reports of this. Despite countless examples of this kind of behavior in the past, he kept insisting that everything was only "alleged" or "unverified."
I'm not sure what kind of cargo cult they have going on over there, but it sure is effective at getting people to see past the most obvious examples of straight up awfulness. Explains a lot about what happened to Susan.
