Right, which is why I wrote this in response to the comment that specifically talked about how regulation was required to prevent them from solving it exclusively within their scope, in the most dystopian way possible, and motivate these companies to direct the lobbying they're already doing to fix the problem.
Agreed. “Instead of this local solution fully within a person’s control, ‘we’ should solve a giant macroeconomic and cultural issue” is never that persuasive.
