CYBER

Uber's April Fools Glitch

A terrible April Fool’s day glitch screws over Uber drivers, tenants in California are striking back against landlords, and private banks: do we need them? Today’s episode of Cyber is a cypher, that infrequent version of the show where we decipher some recent tech news. It’s a potpourri for the panopticon age. A grab bag of tech horrors, a not so gentle reminder that our work is not yet done. Motherboard reporter Roshan Abraham is here to talk about it all. <a href="https://www.vice.com/en/article/ak3dnj/uber-claws-back-double-pay-from-drivers-after-april-fools-glitch" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">'Screwed': Uber Claws Back Double Pay from Drivers After April Fools Glitch</a> <a href="https://www.vice.com/en/article/epvdzw/blackstone-tenants-union-san-diego-evictions-rent" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tenants of America's Biggest Landlord Form Union to Fight Evictions, Rent Hikes</a> <a href="https://www.vice.com/en/article/n7ew8x/want-to-curb-city-crime-evict-fewer-tenants-study-says" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Want to Curb City Crime?
