<devil's advocate hat> If developers didn't keep serving up products contaminated with hidden privacy violations - and were actually held accountable for their product/service when it caused harm to their users - perhaps calls for licenses or charters wouldn't be quite so necessary...
Equifax did the developer equivalent of exposing most of the US to salmonella. Reports this week seem to indicate it's had practically no detectable punishment via any form of "self-responsibility".
- wallace_f 8y agoYet Wall St is one of the most highly regulated markets, and look how much destruction they still are able to cause. I'm not so much anti-regulation as much as I am for regulating sensibly. E coli comes from fecal contamination. Do we really need to ban street food because of fecal contamination? Do people need a license to know not to contaminate food with shit? That is the top criticism and post here objecting to mine. And if you believe in that sort of thing, then you everything should be regulated. I dont know what is more common sense than not putting shit in food. There are times where regulation makes sense, but this is not it.
