Actually the EU RF, product liability and cyber security regulations rather point into a direction that disallows use of aftermarket firmware that can delay onsolecense and encourages lockdown. Instead of overregulation we need create an economic system that encourages sustainable use of resources. The EU just does what they can do best: regulate

- dkjaudyeqooe 3y ago> we need create an economic system that encourages sustainable use of resources Which would require regulation, or you have way too much faith in humanity. Regulation isn't bad, just dumb regulations.
- riedel 3y agoTotally agreed but good regulation needs a vision and common values beyond a common single market (alas we just do more regulations centrally in the fear to get regulatory fragmentation decentrally)
- munk-a 3y agoProper cost attribution of externalities could provide an alternative to regulation... unfortunately the only way we currently have to measure these externalities is regulation. Directly regulating the bad outcome instead of the externalities that contribute to it is less likely to lead to misaligned economic incentives. Regulation is not a bad thing - though within the US a fair amount of regulations were constructed to increase the barrier to enter a market at the behest of lobbying.
