"Better to ask forgiveness than permission" has ruined us.

• pjc50 3y ago
  Eh, it's given us a tremendous amount of benefits across the internet as a whole. It's only once it enters into the territory where both permission and forgiveness are definitely denied that it becomes a problem - as well as the US insistence that free speech means an unlimited right to lie about things including your own products.

    It's maybe a problem of scale, since I can't easily name any entity that could "forgive" a questionable decision made by Google.

  Let’s be honest. No one asks for forgiveness and there are no consequences of any kind, especially if they’re externalities to your business. Ruin the internet or something else for an extra $30k in profit. It’s fine. That’s what we do!
