> There's no excuse for technological illiteracy or ignorance I know the internet is much more popular since the last 10 years, but I don't think everyone is

  Why are laws the answer? If something is in a legal/moral gray area now, then how many people will stop doing it when it becomes a true illegality? Why not just have better defenses against things like this in the first place, that work whether the activity is deemed "wrong" or not?

    There are many areas of the law which have been untouched for decades, and only starts now to create new cases because of how the internet works. Couchsurfing for example. Also scamming has never been so easy with the internet. I'm not saying you really need laws, but regulations might improve the situation. There's nothing really illegal there, but it would be nice to see google being liable for its data if it reach a certain size of audience. In this case it's false advertising of defamation (unintentional). Google map is a product, even if it hides behind a free thing "use with caution". Most people can get along with it, but if it starts to have a big impact on society, people will indeed become wary and learn, but not everyone will do. I guess you can say "let the nature do its work", but that's not always how government see things, and that's not why the government exists. Strong government can do big improvements, I think. It depends, that's a balance to find.
