Nah, we don't have to do shit that companies like or find aligned. We can make regulations they hate and yet they still must follow. This idea that we have to appease them into cooperation is some late stage capitalist bullshit and it's surprising to see so many on a hacker forum not just treading but defending the corporate line. Sad.

Regulation is aligning incentives - companies dont want to pay a fine so they do what you want them to.

What doesn't work is setting things up so the company benefits from the thing you don't want them to do, and then being surprised when the inevitable happens.
