- hiddencost 3y agoI've wondered what that structure might look like. CFPB? CAN-SPAM? I miss muscular regulatory bodies.
- ijhuygft776 3y agoI agree with your last statement, but for the structure, I think it needs to be something else... maybe something like CAN-SPAM, but adapted for a wider range of conditions.

I do not use Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, Amazon (I buy electronic books but avoid physical goods because they try to trick you into buying Prime) and next door. All use dark patterns and the solution is to stop using them.
- dangus 3y agoThe solution to poor regulation is almost never a boycott. We didn’t get people to stop buying lead paint, leaded gasoline, or asbestos insulation via boycotts.
