A fair point, but the government regulation was a response to corporate abuses. There's a discussion to be had about the efficacy of this particular regulation, but zero regulation and letting corporations run free is not a better solution.
In an ideal world governments are accountable to a well-educated populace and enact the will of the people to rein in the excesses of the greedy and powerful. Of course that is not how it currently works, but that is the ideal to strive for.

- mostlysimilar 3y agoIt's a point I disagree with, but it's a fair question to ask. I chose to engage with the statement in good faith and assumed the person just hadn't connected the dots fully. People are more likely to be receptive to changing their views if you first acknowledge where they currently stand.
- hot_gril 3y ago> zero regulation and letting corporations run free is not a better solution I was fine with this solution. Most people don't care this much about privacy, and the govt is already violating it harder than anything else.
