Uber has been accused by a UK-based drivers union of displaying favouritism in the way in which it allocates jobs. The App Drivers & Couriers Union has launched a legal challenge in a bid to understand how the firm's algorithms pair drivers with ride requests. The union wants Uber to be more transparent about how the data it collects impacts drivers, and whether it leads to favouritism. Uber has always said that it does not manage its self-employed drivers. However the union alleges that Uber is monitoring drivers' performance, and claims that the firm is noting incidents of late arrivals, cancelled jobs and customer complaints about attitude or inappropriate behaviour against driver profiles. “This is about the distribution of power,” Anton Ekker, the privacy lawyer leading the case,  told the Guardian . “It’s about Uber exerting control through data and automated decision-making, and how it is blocking access to that.” 'We're key workers but no-o...

Privacy campaigners say England's test and trace programme has broken a key data protection law. The Department of Health has conceded the initiative to trace contacts of people infected with Covid-19 was launched without carrying out an assessment of its impact on privacy. The Open Rights Group (ORG) says the admission means the initiative has been unlawful since it began on 28 May. The government said there is no evidence of data being used unlawfully. The test and trace system involves people being asked to share sensitive personal information. This can include: their name, date of birth and postcode who they live with places they recently visited names and contact details of people they have recently been in close contact with, including sexual partners. "In no way has [there] been a breach of any of the data that has been stored," said Education Secretary Gavin Williamson. He told BBC Breakfast: "I think your viewers will understand that if ...

The popular online multiplayer game played by millions in the Pakistan has been temporarily  banned  in the country. Multiple petitions have been filed against the ban. Chaudhry had said on Twitter that he was against all kinds of general bans. “Such attitude is killing the tech industry, we cannot afford such bans.” He expressed hope that IT Minister Haque would take note of it and the PTA would be instructed not to encourage such bans as they hinder technological growth in the long run. In response, Haque said the IT Ministry does not have control over the PTA. The authority is overseen by the Cabinet Division, he said. “Only the Cabinet Division could comment regarding the ban on PUBG,” the IT minis...

As the worsening coronavirus pandemic threatens recovery, brent crude fell 10 cents or 0.2%, at $43.04 a barrel on the first day of the business week. According to the details, the oil dropped this week, after gaining 4 cents last week 0.2%, at $40.53 a barrel. The prospect that a rise in the spike of coronavirus infections could derail a recovery in fuel demand, dipped the prices of oil on Monday. Global Markets Strategists are of the view that “With global daily COVID-19 case counts still rising and the U.S. Sunbelt most populous states showing little success in bending and containing the (epidemic’s) curve, concerns about the post-COVID recovery pace are limiting the upside for oil,” In addition to this, Japan’s oil imports dipped to 14.7 percent in June from the same month a year earlier. The drop was not as pronounced as in May when they fell 25%, year on year. #AhmedShameel
