Fraud? So the suggestion is the old state of law was preferable, from a public policy perspective? Before "identity theft" was created? Created by a process that was described, if I'm remembering the right bill correctly, as industry lobbyists standing in the hallway outside the Congressional committee room on their phones - stepping into the hall to call their clients back to ask what else they would like, and then cycling back through the room to add it? Hmm... could be. ;) In other news, it seems the NYTimes has managed to use the phrase "regulatory capture" three whole times so far in 2018![1] Woo hoo! We'll be addressing this in no time at all. Right after rolling back copyright extension. And tech innovating better fora support for constructive public discussion. RSN. Maybe next week? :/ Sigh.

But yes, it is possible to push on these things. History is contingent. And no one ever promised bootstrapping a civilization was quick or easy or monotonic.
