That's a legitimate point of view but that in no way or case justified what Uber did. For context[1], when NYC passed legislation that would have adversely affected the business, they put a "de Blasio's Uber" button into the app encouraging people to contact the mayor's office, basically spamming the office with mail. And before you think that's because they're staunch believers of civic protest, as the article points out in China they did the opposite and discouraged drivers, as to not anger authorities.
A private company trying to sort of ddos the mayor with spam mail is ridiculous, regardless where you stand on the politics of the particular case.
This sort of stuff is great. It's similar to when talk radio hosts tell people to call their representatives and give the phone number of that representative's office.
