As long as people do not understand IT, and most still do not, some will profit on the ignorance of the many, and the sole cure is culture, laws came after, not before. The cure to current IT social issues is FLOSS, desktop centered computing, but it's unachievable without a mass understanding of the role of IT. Even if ALL modern cars stop suddenly, all payment systems collapse for a week people will not learn because they do not want to. I suspect any "civilization" can only change after major disruptions like a war, not "the old one", but new generations born after the war. There will always be some who foresee the needs of a radical change, the opportunity of a revolution and so on, but they regularly remain too few to steer the society...
