When platforms use algorithms to control wages and hours, suppress organizing and prevent collective contestation, they are building unaccountable power structures that operate outside democratic institutions. This is a form of private authoritarianism enabled by algorithmic opacity.” 2026-02-02T06:40:46Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdjk3js5u7vms9v7mhjhfm0uydyywre9qrqahz2ewfc0v26s5fcdgzyzp9v79wxwqmdw3kns28vsa9zhlu047sk555unqlyksd4grv8qq8z2sap25 <a href="https://techpolicy.press/why-gig-platform-wage-theft-is-a-governance-crisis">https://techpolicy.press/why-gig-platform-wage-theft-is-a-governance-crisis</a><br/><br/>“The problem is not that algorithms manage workers — it is that they have become employers without accountability, and our legal system has not caught up.” 2026-02-02T06:34:04Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfezvlwkt0jpwpy7k02vt53c7eapyvqvnausp3kp45pee4g7k5elgzyzp9v79wxwqmdw3kns28vsa9zhlu047sk555unqlyksd4grv8qq8z0kemvt “The problem with the plague of 1994, really, was that unlike so many other diseases, it refused to occur and remain ‘out there’ in the rural areas. Nor would it confine itself to urban slums . Plague germs are notorious for their non-observance of class distinctions. Methods are yet to be devised to prevent their entry into the elite areas of South Bombay or South Delhi. Worse still, they can board aircraft and fly club class to New York.
