Uber has filed a motion requesting that certain internal documents remain confidential, arguing that their public release could harm the company’s competitive position and violate privacy interests. The company’s legal team contends that the documents contain sensitive business plans, privileged communications, and legal strategies, which, if disclosed, would put Uber at a disadvantage. Uber is seeking to prevent the release of these documents, even with redactions.
However, the distinction must be made between genuinely confidential business information and material that may simply be embarrassing if exposed.
