1. Not an issue. If anything, the reality in the US is the opposite. Too much of the population believes the "solution" to every problem is to blame someone and seek retribution, preferably through the courts. 2. True, but depending on the law and the facts, sometimes the party with more resources still has a significant chance of losing, decides it is not a risk worth taking and their best option is to either avoid such litigation or settle before trial. Most cases that are filed in the US settle. For every case filed, there are problem many more that are deliberately avoided by coporations modifying their behaviour, i.e., being careful. 3. History has shown they have not been 100% successful. America has a history of legislation that was introduced on the initiative of some "ordinary citizen" who was able to draw attention to a societal problem, through a personal story where they were affected and/or through their tireless perseverence and dedication to the cause. Big Tech is in a unique position in the history of mega-corporations because the work they do is less likely to produce the types of harm that existing US laws were designed to address. Things like death, illness, physical injury, financial loss, and so on. Laws addressing those harms did get passed. No one has ever really tried to get laws passed that address the Big Tech behaviours we learn about reading the stories and comments on HN.
