Industry-led regulation has never worked in the entire history of the world.
- plorkyeran 2y agoIndustry-led content regulation has been very effective at staving off legal regulation in the United States. The MPA rating system and ESRB are very imperfect but nonetheless are success stories.
- jwmcq 2y agoOkay, I'll give you that. Let me rephrase: Industry-led regulation can work, in industries that won't kill anyone or even realistically lose anyone a bunch of money for non-compliance, if-and-only-if government regulation exists as a real and powerful enough alternative to make it stick.
- gavinhoward 2y agoYes, but if we already have regulations, governments may be lazy enough to simply put force of law behind our regulations.
