There is a difference between "not all, by choice", and "absolutely none, by compulsion". This is something your average 4 year old can easily understand.

You know what? Fuck what "companies" want. If you get a clear notice that a user wants you to delete something, you act on it. It doesn't matter if it was sent by carrier pigeon. Can't automate it? Tough doo-doo. Interfe

Listen to yourself. You are a fanatic. What are you going to ban after that?

Ah, but you see, the alarms from the device I am building are most important, because somebody might sue me if I can't shift responsibility onto the user.

You didn't have a reasonable expectation that it would, or even might, do that. I guess you could say that you didn't have a reasonable expectation that a bot could accept a license, but you're on a lot shakier ground there..

The person who chose to run it (and tell it what to do) is responsible for its actions. If you don't want to be responsible for something nondeterministic software does, then don't let nondeterministic software do that thing.

Nice job of sidestepping the "fundamental question" of whether that can be done and what damage it would do. You do not get to answer the question as you posed it in a vacuum. It's not a "robustness issue". Nobody
