This reminds me of arguments some people use in the EU against net neutrality... they want fast lanes for Industry 4.0, online emergency and self driving cars.

  There's a big difference between accidentally breaking something and doing it intentionally. I think some people get too caught up on blaming individuals for accidents. Which I think stems from the culture of litigation and offsetting unforeseen costs. While there obviously should be processes in place to prevent accidents from happening, gross negligence aside I do also think we should stop hunting down individuals to compensate our own greed.

    People are usually still held responsible when they accidentally break things, especially if it's because of their own gross negligence. I don't think anyone is blaming individuals here, in most countries businesses can face criminal charges.

      There hasn't actually been any crime committed though. Unless you want to turn miscoding config files into an international crime - in which case every single person who works in IT would be a criminal since we all error at some point in our careers (usually frequently, to be honest). Granted the scale here is greater than your usual sysadmin would have access to, but the nature of the error isn't any different.
