We don't need laws against this. We already have existing and satisfactory avenues that expose these types of business practices. Good journalism and websites like Hacker News do a better job than a law regarding this type of practice ever could.

- logicallee 13y agoI'm not saying you're wrong, but please don't be so casual with this audience's time. For example, should we have to do vigilante investigation of every company everywhere? Obviously consumer rights have to be balanced with the first amendment - and for this reason, I don't think your parent's proposal is clear enough to become a law. It's super-vague. But don't for a second be so generous in saying that we should take the burden on instead. I don't want to have to read about underage workers, credit card fraud by companies, carcinogenic additives, gross marketing misrepresentation, or any number of other practices that are simply illegal. Moreover even if someone did want to read about them here, we couldn't police the world's 125M companies. This is totally literally what laws are for.
- rmc 13y agoThis original story was about information about the warranty in the EU. So I don't think the first amendment of the US constitution applies in this case. (And yes, it's a vague quick suggestion, this is a discussion board, we're not writing laws here)
