”Capital killed capitalism”
”Jeff Bezos bypasses markets. Capitalists are his servants whom he charges 40%”
”They don’t even want you to buy anything. They have a new form of capital for putting ideas into your brain”
”There is no such thing as AI, it’s a marketing term for a wide variety of cybernetic systems”
”The center-left is entirely responsible for the rise of fascism”

Digital labor platforms in Africa offer both opportunities & challenges, with marginalized workers facing dispossession despite tech advancements. In this study, Adio-Adet Tichafara Dinika (@unibremen, @DAIR) calls for policy reforms to protect worker autonomy & ensure equitable participation in economic shifts.

@Piraattipuolue A quote for the doubting Toms.
@Piraattipuolue @piratepartyau @piratenpartei
The key to cloud capital’s take over from real markets is enclosing off your ownership to your digital identity, finances and the data you produce for them.

#GigEconomy #Precarity #PlatformEconomy: "More than two decades after the first ride-hail driver rolled through San Francisco’s streets, the idea of a platform worker is a permanent fixture in many communities and economies. 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."

#DigitalEconomy #PlatformEconomy #Enshittification: ""Enshittification" isn't just a way of describing the symptoms of platform decay: it's also a theory of the mechanism of decay – the means by which platforms get shittier and shittier until they are a giant pile of shit.
I call that mechanism "twiddling": this is the ability of digital services to alter their business-logic – the prices they charge, the payouts they offer, the particulars of the deal – from instant to instant, for each user, continuously:
(...)
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." https://pluralistic.net/2024/03/26/glitchbread/#electronic-shelf-tags -

Here Europe is trying to force fit 21st century work into a late-19th century regulatory framework. https://www.ft.com/content/1d2ca0e1-b3f0-4fcb-b0c0-a2504b48b605
Instead of retrogressive policies, we need to think about new governance frameworks that would unlock economic potential while providing workers with appropriate social benefits.

Communication and Work from Below: The Role of Communication in Organizing Delivery Platform Workers
"This article analyzes the role of communication with delivery platform workers, drawing on research in the United Kingdom and Brazil. It discusses the relationship between communication and work from a Marxist perspective, the importance of communication “from below” among workers, and the contradictory role of communication. On the one hand, it enables the circulation of workers’ struggles as the first step of organizing. On the other hand, communication is just one of the dimensions of platform work, comprising one part of the new technical composition of work. We argue that this new technical
composition repositions the role of communication to the center of the analysis once it creates an infrastructure of communication among workers that enables and shapes their struggles. From research data, the article analyzes three dimensions of communication in delivery platform work: communication at work; communication through social media; communication in struggle. It discusses the contradictory role of digital infrastructures in workers’ organization, arguing that delivery platform work creates a different relationship to power and communication from traditional industrial sectors." -

I used to refer to digital platforms as (data) ecologies. My apologies. But the relations there are not at all symmetric, they are ambivalent, at best, no harmony, just ends and means that have nothing to do with what they display.
The relation is, thus, not symbiotic or simply parasitic either. It is some kinf of reciprocal parasitism with weird distributions of dependency, benefit, and harm at all sites. It might deserve its own term but another metaphor anyway.

Telcos want content providers and platforms to pay them to continue to provide you with that access. https://www.netopia.eu/millimeter-waves-or-network-tax-in-space/ #netneutrality #TrafficTax #ZeroRating #PlatformEconomy #Telco
