Is this an argument for tighter regulation of the internet? The only reason you can't get away with selling baking soda with arsenic is (quite rightly) because of food regulation.
- jrace 7y agoIt is unfortunate that we need regulation to prevent people from doing what is ethically wrong. Ideally the internet would not need regulation, if only people cared more about doing whats right...and not what makes your shareholders rich.
- moonshinefe 7y agoIt is unfortunate. I remember the earlier days of the internet when regulation wasn't brought up like this constantly. I think the unfortunate reality is whenever there's money involved, certain players will win over and time and become gigantic and by the very nature of their being at the top, they are unethical. Naturally, the less ethical and more ruthless money makers win in the market if all other things are considered equal to their competitors.
