There's been a long-standing fight between France and the company and after pressure from licensed taxi drivers, the service was made illegal in January. However, a constitutional court gave the company a stay of execution while the decision was referred higher up the judicial chain. In the meantime, more violent protests have erupted and, last week, authorities decided to commence seizing UberPOP vehicles. It's not the only place in Europe where Uber is a dirty word, with the company facing plenty of anger in both the UK and Germany.
