This is a good example of what happens when technology moves faster than our governments can legislate. We don’t live in a world where companies genuinely care about what affect their products will have on people. We rely on the government to care for us. Problem is, even when the government actually does the needed actions, it’s usually too late.
Unfortunately it’s what happens when the policymakers are out of touch with the nuanced realities of industry. Either they make policy based on very narrow definitions, or they get stuck debating issues while the industries evolve beyond the issue being debated.
