This comes after James opened up about how negative comments on the internet get under his skin: “‘I get that a lot of people don’t like me,” he began.

“I’ve learned to accept & understand it – but the extent that some people on this app are willing to go in attempt to ruin my life is truly sad. I hope one day people find a way to feel validation without having to bash others for likes.”

It’s good to see Uber are actually taking this complaint seriously.
