CEO Dara Khosrowshahi tweeted Wednesday that he forbid employees from using apps like Wickr and Telegram shortly after he joined the company. He shared that nugget of information while Uber's top lawyer is currently testifying on allegedly receiving stolen proprietary information from Google's Waymo.*
True that Wickr, Telegram were used often at Uber when I came in. As of Sept 27th I directed my teams NOT to use such apps when discussing Uber-related business.
