> As the example in the article points out, replace the word "algorithm" with "a guy named Bob" and suddenly it doesn't sound so innocent....

And there's your gig-workforce and companies like Uber that figured out that replacing blatantly illegal stuff with "AlgOriThMS" somehow takes governments long times to untwine and figure out that they're illegal shills.

But the in-person businesses can't do such tactics. But some venture capital financed outlet can dump hundreds of scooters on public areas, and socialize their costs and privatize their gains.

And yes, the article shows that this is collusion through a third party. I don't give a shit if it's an 'algorithm', Bob, or a tarot reading. It's collusion, and anyone involved needs to suffer.. up to and including being awarded the apartment/house.

But, we know the worst that'll happen is some lawyers will get millions, and the plebes will get a check for $100 off their rent at participating renters.
