Three Democratic lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives are pushing forward with a proposal to establish regulatory safeguards for digital labor platforms—including major players like Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, and Amazon.
The move reflects growing concern among policymakers about how gig economy giants operate. Without clear guardrails, these platforms have faced criticism over worker classification, benefits protection, and algorithmic transparency.
This legislative push signals a broader shift toward stricter oversight of digital platforms. It's worth watching how similar regulatory momentum might shape the future of decentralized platforms and crypto-adjacent services in the U.S. market.

Regulation is coming again, this time targeting the gig economy? It should have been regulated a long time ago. Those riders and drivers really deserve some protection.
