Surely I can tell a web developer contractor they can't build insecure/shitty code without turning them into an employee? They tell their drivers all sorts of instructions already - turn down tips, offer water, be courteous, etc.

You certainly can advise your contractors. You can stipulate in your contract that the work must be completed in a certain way. As this relates to uber I'm sure that they tell all their drivers to not break the law (covers speeding, running red lights, and also discrimination).
The onus in this case is on the users to out the drivers to Uber through the review system. Maybe they need a submit button on the review page that says 'my driver broke the law'.
Don't ask HN, look up the actual difference between an employee and a contractor if you are not sure and are employing contractors.
I don't. It's a hypothetical. Why can't Uber say "you must comply with the ADA" to their drivers if I'm able to say to a web developer contractor "website must be accessible to the visually impaired".
