Legal aspects of various instances of ‘collaborative economy’ are discussed, originally in view of their relevance for gender equality law which prohibits also indirect discrimination. The legal nature of the user-to- platform relation has to be assessed on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the rules imposed and the algorithms applied by the platform.
