Letting everybody sue everyone else until we all get what we want is a
kind of end-stage neoliberalism (individualisation of the
legislature).
To call yourself a "government", at some point you need to take a
stand that contains actual values.
One can understand why California would not like to go directly
against BigTech as we are in Europe. And any fixed laws will quickly
go out of date in a fast world. So more fundamental principles must be
addressed. Positive and enabling policies are always better.
- zpeti 5y agoI don’t see how this system is obviously worse. Relying on a government that changes every 4 years, who are incompetent at almost everything (just take a look at the social media hearing in Congress), to police extremely complex and fast moving new markets? Is that really better than letting money hungry lawyers put together class action lawsuits related to actual damages? I just don’t see how it’s obvious that one is better than the other.
- willcipriano 5y agoThe government doesn't change every 4 years, just the figurehead and on the average he changes every 8 years.
- dwighttk 5y agoThe average is probably a little higher than 6 not quite 7(I’d guess)
