A Spanish court has ruled that Amazon must compensate self-employed couriers who used their own vehicles for deliveries, a move welcomed by a labour union that has criticised worker conditions in the "gig economy". The Madrid labour court said that the tech giant would have to pay Social Security contributions for the 2,166 people it hired under the guise of external contractors within the now-defunct " Amazon Flex " scheme and recognise them as regular staff during the periods they made deliveries. It did not provide the total to be paid. Amazon scrapped the Flex programme in Spain last year, after a 2020 Supreme Court ruling forced companies to hire freelance couriers as staff, and the government introduced a pioneering law to the same effect in 2021.

Shortly after the Nigerian government blocked Twitter in 2021 for removing a post by the country's president, its verified handle @NigeriaGov appeared on Koo , an Indian microblogging platform that was little known overseas. It was a major milestone for Koo, which had launched with a focus on Indian languages and a government-friendly stance even as its bigger rival Twitter increasingly locked horns with authorities over its content moderation policies. It was also a vindication for the Indian government, where many officials are on Koo, and which last month hailed another locally made technology: a mobile operating system, BharOS , to challenge Google whose Android operating system dominates the country's smartphone market. "We have a long way to go, but if this happens, monopoly by anybody will go away," Dharmendra Pradhan, India's skill development and entrepreneurship minister, said of the potential for locally made technologies like BharOS to be … [Read more...] about online surveillance: India’s push for digital sovereignty may risks more online surveillance, here’s how
