Susan Fowler's plan after Uber? Tear down the system that protects harassers

In an exclusive interview, Susan Fowler - the engineer who kickstarted a reckoning on sexual harassment in Silicon Valley - says the industry must end an obscure legal clause that prevents people like her seeking justice

Susan Fowler has a simple explanation for her decision to become a whistleblower: It was her only option.

The software engineer had no idea that a blogpost detailing her experience of sexual harassment and discrimination at Uber would spread across the globe and pave the way for the ousting of the company's CEO, Travis Kalanick, and many powerful men in tech. The impetus for publishing the 2,900-word story was an obscure legal clause that prevented her from seeking justice in court.
