How do you change people's mindsets from 'free is good' to 'free is bad' though? They're not planning on being customers of Google.
>This victim-blaming needs to stop before the tech industry backlash hits. This is exactly why we need regulation.
Google will simply dilute the language of the regulation, to the point where they will simply add a "your account can be deleted at any time for any reason, proceed at your own risk" popup during sign-up, and people will happily hit continue/next.
Systemic reform can't exclusively happen top-down or bottom-up. There needs to be some of both. We need to stop giving Google free good-will on HN. Stop up-voting Google product launches, stop promoting Chrome, etc, etc.
