In this episode, Host Ali Mesbahian talks to Professor Valerio De Stefano from Osgoode Hall Law School about the intrusions of modern information technology on our work and personal lives.

How do companies in the “platform economy” like Uber and Lyft escape employment and labour regulation? Concerns are fleshed out, myths are debunked and solutions are explored — stay tuned for this fascinating discussion!
