Advocates Call For Ban On Surveillance Wage And Pricing

Advocates urge New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the City Council to ban individualized "surveillance" wage- and price-setting that uses personal data and automated decision systems. The piece cites FTC findings and a large survey showing seven in ten ride-hailing drivers feel pressured, arguing such opaque algorithms harm workers, raise consumer prices, and warrant enforceable local bans beyond disclosure rules.
