So long as there isn't the same freedom of movement for people as there is for data, for goods and for capital, we will not have an actual planetary labour market (nor either will we solve the persistent problems of poverty and inequity, but that's a separate issue). So while I appreciate the intent of the authors in promoting the idea of "the emergence of a 'planetary labour market' in digital work" we will not in fact see equity of working conditions if people are trapped within labour-unfriendly borders. This paper is part of a special issue on data globalization.
