What legal protections? Most "contractors" are actually employed by their own personal shell companies, specifically because there is no meaningful protection for contractors. No protection from IRS, from customers, from law enforcement, from health insurers, from COVID. But you get to make your own hours, and work with no bosses no homework no bedtimes no rules, and that's cool I guess.
