The selective enforcement - particularly when it's overt - really grinds my gears. When they are finally applied that doesn't make said application invalid or incorrect.
I think that some cases whereby $importantperson isn't banned because they're important are valid. It helps to have a public and verifiable record of a public office holder making provably false claims, particularly when a warning is then slathered over said bullshit. But the thought of a government body deciding when a company may and may not enforce its rules is chilling.
- ryandrake 6y agoWell, laws are selectively enforced, too. How many company-crippling GDPR fines have been collected so far?
- bloodorange 6y agoThe idea behind the fines is to get compliance and not to destroy the company.

- agiroth 6y ago> But the thought of a government body deciding when a company may and may not enforce its rules is chilling. In general I agree with you; I only consider this kind of thinking valid at Twitter/FB/Google/AWS scale - where one decision affects populations the size of entire nations (or larger). It's a problem less than a dozen companies would ever face and any reasonable law would need to make that abundantly clear. I wouldn't favor opening that door for smaller companies.
