Social	Media	Policy	
Social media is something that the average American uses
on a daily basis. We use it to connect with family, friends,
employers, businesses, and costumers. Social media is constantly
changing and its important for companies to try and be in front of
the fold. Uber has been one of these companies that has been in
front of the fold.
Uber was one of the first companies to start ridesharing,
which has changed costumer’s views on taxis and how to get to
their destination. With more costumers giving feedback Uber can
assess and work on the negative reviews.
