Platform Accountability

Southeast Asia's digital economy is dominated by regional super-apps and digital intermediaries. This observatory provides civil society oversight to hold companies like Gojek, Grab, Tokopedia, Blibli, and Shopee accountable for their automated decision-making, algorithmic labor dispatch, data harvesting, and consumer rights practices.
