> I get where you’re coming from, but it seems any proposal that requires every single person to change to be protected from some harm is destined to failure, or would at least be incomplete and take decades to establish itself. Judging by how populism is tearing our societies apart, we may not have that time. Perhaps we may not have the time, but I'm unconvinced it is so. There is also no need for every single person to change, just a critical mass and not necessarily drastically either. I propose that even some awareness of this issue in the majority would be enough. It is also not unprecedented that the overall stance of society changes on some issue drastically over time. I'm thinking of ideas such as the abolition of slavery, women's suffrage, the acceptance of non-white people as equal members of society (yes, the change is not complete, but it is drastically different compared to a hundred years ago), the awareness of sexually transmitted diseases and so forth. The awareness of the danger of letting any single corporation have too much power seems like a good addition to this class of ideas.
