South Korea’s media regulator said it will report Uber Technologies Inc.’s local unit to prosecutors for violation of communications rules on using location data.
Uber failed to report its business and receive official permission before providing location tracking services on its ride-sharing application, the Korea Communications Commission said in an e-mailed statement today. Uber Korea faces a fine of as much as 30 million won ($27,700) if charged, it said.
