Have we ever successfully thought through any new technology before implementing it, though? At the launch time of social media transforming society was clear VC hype and due to that implicitly ignored. "Dude it is just a website.". I cannot think of a single time that a transformative technology was "thought through" ahead of time. Such standards just become basically intellectual NIMBYism, demanding onerous standards to try to make it go away.
