It’s sadly never that simple. You quickly run into “and now we have to regulate it further” at every step because contracts have to be exhaustive in order to be clear, risks cannot be fully known in advance, rational people can disagree about what is misleading, etc.
- germandiago 2y agoThis already happens even with regulations. It is impossible to fix. Also, note thst even with regulations and, more important, INSIDE regulated areas, these things already happen. I think there is a case to discuss what constitutes harm, but pretending that regulated means "harmless and ok" and not regulated "evil and dangerous" is a bad mindset and the one that is dragging us to a false sense of security via hyper regulation. Not always, of course, but in many cases it is just a false sense of it.
- mathgeek 2y ago> This already happens even with regulations. Agreed, that was sadly part of my point. They never end but not having them also doesn’t solve the problem for everyone. Some folks will want more, some won’t, at any balancing point.
