- Uber faces lawsuits from over 3,000 sexual assault victims and California drivers, prompting new terms of service.
- New terms require users suing Uber to disclose litigation funding agreements and waive attorney-client and work product privileges.
- The terms are likely unenforceable due to legal doctrines on waiver and confidentiality, but may still deter litigation funders.
- Litigation funding industry faces growing scrutiny, with North Carolina and Ohio banning or restricting third-party funding.
- Uber's tactics appear self-interested to discourage lawsuits holding the company accountable, rather than promoting transparency.
