Feds will go after Uber?

"Flexible” and “tar­geted” reg­u­la­tions of so-called “shar­ing eco­nomy” ser­vices like Uber and Airb­nb may be ne­ces­sary, the head of the Fed­er­al Trade Com­mis­sion said Fri­day.
In a speech at Ford­ham Uni­versity Law School, FTC Chair­wo­man Edith Ramirez warned that im­pos­ing “leg­acy reg­u­la­tions on new busi­ness mod­els” can stifle com­pet­i­tion and ul­ti­mately leaves con­sumers worse off. But, she said, reg­u­lat­ors shouldn’t shy away from en­for­cing im­port­ant con­sumer pro­tec­tions on is­sues like health, safety, or pri­vacy.
