Dutch Regulator Fines Uber $966 Million for Automating Driver Suspensions, Document Shows

Dutch regulators have fined Uber $966 million over the company’s alleged use of automated systems to suspend drivers, according to a document. The penalty reportedly concerns decisions affecting drivers’ access to the platform without sufficient human review or explanation. Authorities said the case raises questions about algorithmic management, due process and workers’ rights in the gig economy. Uber may appeal or challenge the findings. The decision could influence how other platforms use automated enforcement tools and increase scrutiny of technology-driven employment.
