And as more sectors become platformized, there is an increasing urgency to understand how these jobs have changed, what new work conditions have been created, and what regulatory reforms might be needed to ensure fair conditions. Edited by Murali Shanmugavelan and Aiha Nguyen, The Formalization of Social Precarities explores platformization from the point of view of precarious gig workers in the Majority World. In countries like Bangladesh, Brazil, and India — which reinforce social hierarchies via gender, race, and caste — precarious workers are often the most marginalized members of society. Labor platforms made familiar promises to workers in these countries: work would be democratized, and people would have the opportunity to be their own boss. Yet even as platforms have upended the legal relationship between worker and employer, they have leaned into social structures to keep workers precarious — and in fact formalized those social precarities through surveillance and data collection."<a href="https://datasociety.net/library/the-formalization-of-social-precarities/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://datasociety.net/library/the-formalization-of-social-precarities/</a>

Contrary to Big Tech's own boasting about its operations, the tricks that tech firms play to siphon value away from business customers and end-users aren't very sophisticated. They're crude gimmicks, like offering a higher per-hour wage to Uber drivers whom the algorithm judges to be picky about which rides they'll clock in for, and then lowering the wage by small increments as a way of lulling the driver into gradually accepting a permanent lower rate: (...) This is a simple trick. The difference is that tech platforms like Uber can play it over and over, and very quickly." <a href="https://pluralistic.net/2024/03/26/glitchbread/#electronic-shelf-tags" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://pluralistic.net/2024/03/26/glitchbread/#electronic-shelf-tags</a>
