These are are problems of the commons[1], and do need governance. They don't however represent direct interactions between people (unlike say employment or sex) and so consent isn't really in-scope here.

- ses1984 3y agoThen let’s consider algorithmic driven gig work as a new type of problem of the commons. At one point damage to the environment wasn’t considered a problem of the commons.
- thegrimmest 3y agoIt's not though, it's simply another option in the market. More options are always better than fewer. No one is forcing anyone to take these gigs, and the relationship between gig provider and worker is frankly none of anyone else's business so long as it's consensual. There is none of your air or water being contaminated.
- ses1984 3y agoWell we disagree about what consent means, among a lot of other things.
- thegrimmest 3y agoI'm just using the common definition, as applied to personal/romantic/sexual relationships. I even linked a video that quite clearly explains the definition.
- ses1984 3y agoOk, the video doesn’t seem to cover whether children can give consent, and you said they can’t, so what’s missing?
- thegrimmest 3y agoThe legal system that decides when we can give consent (when we become adults, the age of majority) and when we can't (legal incompetence ruled by a court of law).
- ses1984 3y agoBut you just accept the legal system? What’s the basis? What if it gig work was outlawed?
