Uber has been banned by Italy's full blockade service and advertising

[Global Science and Technology Report] According to foreign media reports on April 11, the Italian court ruled on the 7th that a total ban on the operation of various types of Uber vehicles in Italy, and announced that Uber will not have any right to carry out any advertising campaign in the country. This move is equivalent to completely banned Uber into the Italian market.

Earlier, the Italian local major taxi association filed a lawsuit with the court, saying that Uber’s operating model had unfair competition and threatened the survival of the local traditional taxi industry. On April 7, the court supported the taxi association's complaint in the judgment, announcing a total ban on Uber service. Uber responded that it was "shocked" by the court's ruling and that the company plans to appeal and hopes that some of the services will continue to operate in Italy.

In recent years, Uber has been thriving with convenient services and low costs. At the same time, it also caused unfair competition in the taxi industry and was resisted by traditional taxi companies. However, the main reason is that the relevant laws and regulations are not perfect.

Italy was the first country to completely ban Uber service and advertising. Prior to this, Uber had been resisted to varying degrees in various parts of the world. The Netherlands, Western Australia, Brussels, and Germany have applied for restrictions on Uber service; some cities in Thailand, South Korea, Spain, and the United States have suspended Uber service.
