Safety features nessaseraly demand open and auditable by third parties.

We need to be able to ensure that abusers aren't hopping around companies abusing passengers or drivers, for example. It's hard to do that with complete privacy.

It's one of the cases where strong regulations so third parties can't do things with your data is important, but also sharing that data to protect yourself and others more vulnerable than you is important.
