The most contrived examples you come up with are still vastly better outcomes than 150 people perishing in a plane crash. The stakes are just much, much lower.

- pfranz 9y agoWe see class actions and government intervention over things like wristbands that give a small percentage of people rashes, antennas that perform poorly if you hold your phone in a certain away, or devices that fail just out of warranty. I think the difference is they're extensions of laws for more egregious things like; things that electrocute you, things that give you cancer, or things that explode. (I'm sure another factor is that physical things have been sold for much longer than digital things) Since digital things don't have those catastrophic examples, the other violations don't have the same protections.
