I'm rather stunned to see the U.S. government even somewhat reacting to the startup culture.

Huh? Path is a company, they broke the law, and were investigated and fined as a result. How is that "stunning"? It happens all the time.

It's got almost nothing to do with "startup culture", it is just a business that didn't play by the rules.

I believe the answer is somewhere in the question.

Agree. When was first discussed here everyone was up-in-arms. Why is it now bad that the government is holding path accountable?
