I'd love to see legislation requiring prominent advertising of any changes to a product that buyers might see as a negative. E.g.:
- Smaller product quantity, when previously sold at an apparently similar quantity (secret shrinkflation).
- Changes in food recipe (secret food enshitification).
- (maybe) changes in nutritional value or flavor for farm produce. I'm not sure how this is possible or practical, but I'm thinking about claims that e.g. tomatoes taste worse and are less nutritious than they were a few decades ago.
- Changes in non-food products that worsen performance. E.g., SSD makers switching to cheaper and slower components after initial reviews have come out, but still retaining the same product name. (secret non-food enshitification)
