> For rideshare drivers, delivery workers, housekeepers

These jobs are in the process of being automated, in this order. Any effective effort to curb harassment of these workers is likely to add friction or expense that accelerates automation. Given that it's difficult to know what is the best policy for these people. Is it progress to have fewer such jobs with better working conditions?
