Can you still call it "liability" when all you have to do is performing some kind of compliance theater to get rid of it?

- Terr_ 2y agoTechnically yes, since it depends on the kind of liability. In particular, liability for negligence depends on somebody doing stupid-things or stupidly-not-doing the right things, and there's an ongoing struggle to define where that envelope lies.
- kurikuri 2y agoThe ‘compliance theater’ often is filled with things which seem inane to your product, but the requirements themselves are often broad so that they cover many different types of products. Sure, we could add further granularity, but there is usually a ton of pushback and many people need to come to some compromise on what is relevant.
