I'm not advocating for anarchy, just that we stick to the laws that are actually codified. We should be reactive to bad behavior, not proactive. Instead of blanket calls for regulation, we should be specific and considerate when making new rules as they often have unintended consequences. Instead of having to constantly ask for permission, you should be able to read the rules and make decisions independently. You don't hear about the millions of interactions that occur daily without consequence so I believe your views on corporations may be biased.

The ex-Google employee is calling on Congress to be reactive to Google's activities. Do you agree then with their proposal?
I actually don't agree; bad behavior hurts people and that harm should be prevented if reasonably possible. For example, we should be proactive about airplane safety. We should have been proactive about regulating the securitization of mortgates - that would have saved maybe billions of people from harm, many losing their homes, jobs, and savings.
Of course, anything can be taken too far ...

I don't think anyone would disagree, but am I overlooking someone?
In fairness, you earlier wrote the following, which seems like a much broader, stronger statement:
> any solution that requires foregoing independent corporate decision making would be foolish
