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. 。
