    Exploit has multiple meanings, exploiting a resource and exploiting someone in an underhand or unfair way do have the same phrase to explain them. But exploiting a resource is obviously much different than treating workers unfairly.

    Verbs and nouns typically have different meanings for the same word, maybe time for an English refresher.
