I really don't understand the insistence that Uta didn't betray anyone, simply because he didn't run around with an enormous sign screaming "I AM YOUR FRIEND".

Anteiku trusted him, and treated him as one of their most valuable allies.

Kaneki saw him as someone he could go to for information and advice. He also presented himself to Kaneki as someone concerned for his well-being (speaking kindly to him, comforting him during the Aogiri battle).

Ishida rarely hammers us over the head with things, instead he shows us and expects us to figure it out. Uta presents himself throughout the series as reformed, speaks and acts like a kind and gentle person, and is trusted by everyone.

Then we find out he's a Clown, and see him laughing over the downfall of Kaneki and Anteiku. We still don't know how much direct involvement he had in events, but either way his behavior shows deception and backstabbing.
