I don’t think we should stop anything necessarily.
But we should insist that these companies employees are paid and provided benefits to like employees, and not allow companies to offload all expenses and risks into vulnerable people by calling them “gig workers”.
There is massive asymmetry, for example, in the ability of an Uber driver driving their own car and Uber, in the information they have about the actual risks and costs involved in driving that car. Companies take advantage of that asymmetry in information to exploit workers.
That is something we should indeed stop and make sure the employees are paid properly, given proper benefits and protections.
