> HN crowd is so averse to forcing companies to account for the common good

HN is a quite economically libertarian place and it is full of "ashamed billionaires" and founders who yearn for creating companies that will fuck their customers over. There are many engineers who also think the same and think themselves as business-aware.

Rule of law and strong consumer protection is fundamentally against to contemporary startup mindset that prioritizes monopolization over everything else and rent seeking behavior.

We’ll see how economically libertarian they really are when the AI industry needs a bailout from Uncle Sam.
