Besides the "kill switch" story which may or may not be illegal depending on what actually happened, beyond the layers of journalism - I want to comment on the War on Workers.
Currently in my country there aren't a lot of places to work if you're young and untrained. But services like uber, bolt and various food delivery end up creating an unofficial floor for the wage of somebody willing to work. You don't need credentials or exams - you just need basic skills, time and will - and at least with food delivery services, you're a bicycle and 24 hours away from making money.
Now, maybe where some of you live things are different. Maybe you can afford the extra friction of employment, maybe you don't need that safety "wage floor" because anybody can get employed at any time. Maybe you live in heaven, I don't know. I was born beyond the Iron Curtain and I'm actually ready to believe that some countries somewhere are heaven. But everywhere I could see with my own eyes: there are people that can make money with this kind of freelance services, that would most definitely suffer if formal employment was the only game in town.
