Leadership shakeup at Uber begins: Immelt’s resignations comes at the same times as a leadership shakeup gets underway at Uber, where its senior vice president of business, Egypt-born Emil Michael, was forced out, according to Bloomberg. As we noted yesterday, Michael’s ouster was recommended by a probe conducted by former US Attorney General Eric Holder investigating a series of scandals in the company. These include [redacted] harassment of employees, denial of an assault by an Uber driver in India, and investigating a critical reporter, the last two incidences apparently directly involve Michael. Embattled CEO Travis Kalanick is also reported to see his role at the company change or to take an extended leave of absence.

Fast Company is noting that the move comes as Uber has a decision to make whether it will reveal customer data to the Egyptian government if the Ride-sharing Apps Act passes. The story, which was first revealed by the New York Times’ Declan Walsh, suggest that Uber and Careem have been approached on surveilling customers and that the law will make that a condition of operating in Egypt. The news is gaining traction among tech-focused outlets, including Engadget.
