I think the title is kinda vague. What FTC really tries to do is "Commission outlined a number of issues facing gig workers, including deception about pay and hours, unfair contract terms, and anticompetitive wage fixing and coordination between gig economy companies." That sounds legitimate to me. If "take advantage of" is not well defined as you said, then it reminds me how intellectuals and young people loved Soviet Union in the 30s and 40s, and how European countries and Japan had so many communist parties and political assassinations after WWII. The word "taking advantage of" and "exploit" have such a great appealing to people's righteousness that even the US government can use them freely to gain support from a large number of people. edit: read the actual announcement and added a paragraph accordingly.
