Which is an increase in regulatory action from the status quo, aka "more regulation"
No -- "more regulation" means either added statutes or a broadened interpretation of existing statutes.
To claim that having existing statutes to continue to be enforced -- i.e. to maintain the status quo -- when there's an uptake in violations against those statutes means that one is somehow advocating for "more regulation" is just... weird.
- Dylan16807 11y agoThe status quo is largely-absent enforcement. It would be weird to use the term "more" if it was fully enforced right now, but it's not.

- kafkaesq 11y agoThe status quo is largely-absent enforcement. Aside from the fact that you have no data or sources to support this contention (it's just hunch you have), your logic is incredibly convoluted here.
- Dylan16807 11y agoJust about every article talks about how hosts are violating the law on a massive scale. Making them stop is "more regulation", it's pretty simple logic. It doesn't matter which branch of government is doing it.
- kafkaesq 11y agoMaking them stop is "more regulation", it's pretty simple logic. But broken logic. And pretty much a repeat of where were at 6-8 levels up from here.
- Dylan16807 11y agoI guess we have completely different definitions of "regulation" then. I include statues and actions, you only count statutes. It's okay if you disagree, but my logic is not at all convoluted.
- kafkaesq 11y agoWell, yeah -- statutes and interpretations. Which I think is basically how most people would interpret (and assess the quantity of a given degree of) "regulation."
