Uber has been banned for breaking the italian law, period. 
That the law for taxi and similar services might be too much restrictive and could be improved in favour of the market is a completely different matter. 
In Italy there are precise rules regarding where and how you can pick up passengers and Uber is violating them.
This is why it was banned. The sentence even states this explicitly: that the duty of the magister is to apply the current law and not the enter in the merits of how it could be improved for the benefit of the market. Did anybody read the sentence before commenting?&lt;p&gt;Uber has been also banned in Berlin and Amburg and I haven&amp;#x27;t seen any similar comment here. I would be very curios to understand why.</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Uber banned in all of Italy</title><url>http://mashable.com/2017/04/07/uber-blocked-italy/</url></story>
