- scarface74 6y agoMore regulation actually increases the barrier of entry to make it even harder for new companies. Well financed established companies are well able to comply. There is a reason that FB always begs for regulation.
- erinnh 6y agoIf the barrier to entry is "don't be a dick and sell data to whomever you like without telling your customers", it's kinda a good barrier, or not? Regulation isnt a black and white/good or bad thing. It can be either.
- scarface74 6y agoThink about a regulation being passed that says if you allow user generated content, you must have a system in place to prevent copyright infringement. Would a startup be able to design such a system? It would give FB and Google an advantage.
- erinnh 6y agoI already said that its not black and white? I dont know why youre trying to argue as if Im saying all regulation is perfect? But acting as if all regulation is terrible and we should let the massive corporations simply walk over us is also not realistic.
- scarface74 6y agoDo you trust the government to know the difference? The US House just had a dog and pony show with the tech CEOs where one representative asked Zuckerburg about Twitter’s content policy.
- erinnh 6y agoMuch more than any company that often are headed by literal psychopaths. At least I can vote for my representatives. And considering a lot of regulation that is passing in the EU I think is at the very least a good step in the right direction, I would say its going pretty well.
