Yeah that would be a good solution but not what the law proposes, the problem is the government isn’t getting to do the right thing either it’s just a knee jerk responce to a new thing existing.

I take it you’ve never delivered and don’t understand how the platform works?

The law change would mean that people can’t do things like multiapp or choose to only do one or two deliveries then stop for a bit, this ruins the flexibility which most people want when choosing to do it

So if they pass this people will be able to sign onto the app, ignore the deliveries and demand 18 an hour? So they’ll have to start firing anyone that doesn’t accept deliveries when offered and refuse people sign on when there aren’t enough orders to go round, etc… end result making it harder for people to earn by delivering food, making food delivery more expensive, but it strikes a blow against something new so everyone will feel like they’re winning.

This isn’t a corporation advertising to get your business it’s a collective movement of people working to create a better internet, I totally understand you not liking politics but the reality of this world is that politics is important - the people runnning instances are generally doing it with their own time and money simply because they believe in the importance of the project, of course these are going to be people with strong principles.

Personally I think having a complex ecosystem is going to be a great thing when it’s had time to emerge and settle but yeah for now it’s all a bit new and up in the air but that’s part of the fun
