laws will not be enough to stop this

Laws may not be enough but it would be a good start at least. If that doesn’t work we’ll try something else.
my bad for not elaborating.

we have always been dependant on whistleblowers and ethical hackers and now, for just a few years, we are at the tipping point where they are the last line of defence. Corruption has almost irreversibly disabled the playing field on which the civil society can act as a red team to corporate visions and strategies.

Something else is always in attempt and laws are an absolute must but whether either of the many measures work, lies in the hands of whistleblowers and hackers.
