> If a company is in compliance to the law and you don’t like the outcome the problem isn’t the company it is the law. The law isn’t the only thing that upholds a cohesive society that is nice to live in. At the very least, culture plays its own part as well. There are probably many more things If I only cared about being legal, I would behave very differently. Just think about how far a citizen could go if they would live in full malicious compliance. One would be a nightmare to others

And despite this, some people DO insist on living just on the edge of legality. I recently had an interaction with someone declared a "vexatious litigant" in Texas. That's a legal status that requires them to get authorization from a judge before opening a new lawsuit against another party. I prefer a world where most people don't ride the edge of legality.

  An overly complex set of rules often breeds this kind of behavior; Functioning legally in a world with a practically infinite number of rules requires it. Fixing the unwanted behavior often involves making more rules… and thus a cancer is born. Another common outcome is complete apathy for the rules. ie: nothing seems legal, why bother trying?

  Someone with a hacker mindset and malicious compliance would be so creative that new laws have to be created just because of what that person did
