“Uber, like other companies in the on-demand economy (Smith & Leberstein, 2015), uses its identity as both a platform and a technology company to define its role (Gillespie, 2010) as a neutral intermediary that facilitates access to underused and undercommoditized goods and services (Lobel, 2015, p.”

“Platform researchers have made similar arguments, for example that ratings-triggered deactivation of drivers on ride-hailing apps represents a form of “algorithmicmanagement” (Robinson 2017; Rosenblat and Stark 2016; Lee et al. 2015; Rosenblat 2018; Griesbach et al. 2019; Ivanova et al. 2018; Rahman 2016).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
