COLLECTIVELY MAKING IT WORK: (F)LAWS OF INDIVIDUAL APPROACHES TO RESIST PLATFORM POWER
summary
Drivers from Uber and Ola bring a GDPR challenge in Amsterdam targeting algorithmic work allocation and deactivations, arguing individual rights fail to surface population-level harms; litigation runs years (one claim started 2015, cost millions) and continues with a four-week tribunal scheduled. Civil actions prompt companies to alter privacy policies (Deliveroo, Free Now) and a separate case names 10 million users via a privacy collective. Organizing yields results: ADCU 6,000 members push for portability and explainability while EU drafts (platform work directive, AI Act) propose audit, documentation and review obligations.
