On: If Videogames and Apps Are Addictive, Should Designers Worry about Liability?

I think the best case for not having another law/regulation is the future.

If we regulate this today, what will this country look like in 200 years?

Will we have regulations on water consumption, posture, etc...

With every regulation you need regulators to enforce it and people to write the laws.

Now you created cronyism to pay for it... When there is profit, profit feeds itself.

Isn't that pretty much a textbook case of the slippery slope fallacy? Just because we want to regulate something harmful, does not mean we will regulate EVERYTHING harmful

Your logic seems flawed

Look at how roman politics evolved.

The use of violence to kill one political opponent spiraled into private militaries taking over the city.

I think you either misunderstood slippery slope or my point.
