P. Vargas de Brea, “The Injunction Against Uber’s Contravention: One Contravention To the Inter-American System Of Freedom Of Expression, - Commentary On The Ruling ‘Appeal Of Preventative Closure under Article 29 LPC in the case of UBER SRL re Violation of 83 CC’”, El Dial, 11/05/2016
The author comments on the preventative injunction that CABA’s Judicial Power issued in 2016. This measure ordered the preventative blocking of Uber’s website and app, as well as ordering credit cards not to process Uber’s operations. This was in violation of the right both to freedom of expression and to engage in lawful business, which are protected by the National Constitution.
Simultaneously, the author adds that the ordered block constitutes, given the interjurisdictional characteristics of the internet, a disproportionate content shutdown, according to international entities’ criteria and constitutes prior censorship according to other jurisdictions.
