It's a great development in the gig economy, but even if a top tier company is moving towards more legitimate hiring practices, don't forget that the approach is rotten to the core and the pressure needs to be systematic.

This shouldn't come as a surprise. The whole "definition of political advertising" and the regulations around it was an unfortunate idea that put pressure on an externality (the advertiser). The goal is to define what is political (everything, dah) It's a GAFAM victory since 2017. deflect attention.

In this piece published today, I try to argue that "#scraping" is a technical term with more than one political meaning edri.org/our-work/the... and should always be used close to nuances such as size, goal, scope of the collection before expressing a judgment.

The two sides of web scraping - European Digital Rights (EDRi)
These methods – such as web-scraping – have been used to achieve several key victories for digital rights, but can also be exploitative.

In this 55' video, me and Me and Joanna Bronowicka present our report, on how we found concerning evidences of Glovo misbehavior towards their riders: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GStS... The report is meant for labor unions on how they can adopt reverse engineering techniques.
