Isn't that pretty much the definition of lack of enforcement? Any customer could report if the driver is using a different ID, then it's up to the platform to kill the account.

That's one of the big issues with all these Gig companies. There's little to no oversight. They offload as much responsibility as they can by lying that "this is not really our employee but a self-employed contractor"
