Digital platforms, uberization of work and regulation on current capitalism.

This paper aims at analyzing the relationship between workers and "platforms" and "applications", as well as the possibilities for their regulation, in the light of the use of new information and communication technologies (ICT). In order to do so, we present the main elements of the dominant narrative in the "platforms", contrasting them with the empirical evidence derived from the relationships established. Contrary to business rhetoric, these relationships are characterized by an intense exploitation of labor. Technically, it has never been easier to regulate labor law. However, politically, it may never have been so difficult. The narrative about what these companies are plays an important role in promoting this kind of management, even though there are signs of workers' resistance to this process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
