A million times this. I wonder how to make them accountable though.

The problem is a function of alienation I think. We're alienating culpability and accountability through technological and legal indirection, and it's that engine of asymmetry through which to extract value and engage in a transaction that our economy optimizes for. The problem of accountability is there will be a massive screaming of bloody murder if you try doing anything to claw the mechanisms/guardrails of accountability transmission back. Too many legal fictions decoupling too much accountability for too many decisions resulting in a situation where callous decisions are made without a modicum of care.

The EU knows somewhat, which is why I am way more sympathetic with anything it tries to do, much unlike the techbro "ACCELERATE" movement.

Death to $WHATEVER_UNFAIR_TYRANY, which the biggest today just so happens to be Mastercard/Visa, at least in the sphere that affects me.
