DoorDash Deactivates Driver Over Staged Refusal to Deliver to Home With Israeli Flag
A DoorDash driver in Michigan filmed herself refusing to deliver food to a home displaying an Israeli flag. After CAM drew attention to the footage on social media, DoorDash responded, “Discrimination of any kind has no place in our community, and we deactivated this Dasher’s account for violating our community guidelines. Based on our investigation, this was staged, and no customer order was involved.”
