Forget getting kicked out of Austin — Uber just got banned from an entire country.。
The ride-hailing service is now blocked in Italy after a judge ruled Friday that it created unfair competition. 。
Unlike rulings in other European countries, where the use of UberX or the European version (UberPop) has been limited, Italy's ruling blocks all of Uber's services: UberBLACK, UberLUX, UberX, UberXL and UberSelect among them. 。
Italy's taxi associations succeeded in winning the ruling after they brought a lawsuit against Uber to court. In addition to its ban against Uber operating, the ruling also prevents Uber from advertising in Italy at all. 。

that they were "shocked" by the decision and planned to appeal. 。
