The issue isn't the "hunt for the bottom line" but the fact that simultaneously multiple parties are offered different price points for an unknown reason (to the workers).

You say it's not discrimination, but you cannot definitively make that claim. That's the issue. Red lining isn't immediately discrimination against a protected class, but silently is it. This is not to say that Uber/Lyft are discriminating against a protected class - it's just that because of the lack of transparency we don't know that they are not.

This is a hard thing for people to accept, but we need to take a deep look at how we implement ML to classify things tied to individuals. It's very easy to de-humanize the humans affected by the systems we build, because "it's just an algorithm."

Is this not the case regardless of whether an algorithm is used or not?
