Here is one, and it will come up almost certainly.
A service has all your source code. Click to cancel is super easy. Privacy laws mean that data must be destroyed almost instantly. You accidentally click and POOF all your stuff is gone. So... to avoid that the service implements something like github - now you have to enter details of the repo, maybe 2fa in because security, and so on. An overzealous Lina Khan type now comes after a service doing the right thing making it hard to shoot yourself in the foot.
every new rule has lots of cases like this. At any given point a good number of the agency heads are ambitious folks trying to build a career of note, not actually protect society.
- blacksmith_tb 2y agoI don't think this scenario is credible in the sense that the FTC would have to receive complaints from devs who love nuking all their code, complaining that GH made it far too difficult to wipe away all their work.
- danielmarkbruce 2y agoNo, they wouldn't have to receive complaints. The FTC doesn't sit around waiting for complaints to take action. They also take action (sometimes) after receiving complaints, but it's not the only way.
