  when monoplies especially tech monops have more revenue than government and the ability to delete or seriously roadblock government from accessing the internet, there is a smoldering powderkeg in play.

  Something like this needs to happen. As long as the (expected) benefit (to executives) of cheating is greater than the (damage to executives of the) fine, we can expect cheating to continue. Admittedly, though, figuring out exactly what the right fine is will be a challenge -- if it's too high it will discourage socially-beneficial business.
