    It just goes to show that if you want real change you need to get really serious about it. As in: change the regulatory and legal framework. Self-regulation doesn't work. You just get an army of consultants, rating agencies and other intermediaries providing "assurance" for-profit, never biting the hand that feeds them. PS. For the record and while tangential to the digital monopoly discussion, it is still a good thing that we got the ESG and greenwashing debacle. Just a few years ago nobody but the perennial "tree huggers" was even talking about sustainability. Now it is a much more broad based discussion although obviously it has not landed anywhere yet. I wish people would also take regulation of the digital sphere more seriously as it is the backbone on which we will solve all these other problems.
