Agreed 100%. However, I'm very reluctant to use laws to prevent people from choosing the things that they decide are best for them on the premise that I/we know better.
The hurdle for my determination that I know better what's good for someone else and to restrict their choice to conform to my superior knowledge is extraordinarily high.
That's a fair point. And although I didn't explicitly said "laws", I guess I meant that.
My view comes from being tired of seeing how the market forces always incentivize the most scummy garbage that can be gotten away with. The only control point we have here is the "gotten away with" part. I'm not very into telling other people how they should live, but a stable and happy society does require some of that.
(That said, I currently have very little influence over this, so I resort to what little of a market signal is created by ranting about this publicly, voting with my wallet, and discouraging people from using solutions that are user-hostile.)
