You will only guarantee what you answer for.
Since they have power to make it so, they own the good part and disown the bad part.
It's the warfare logic, the collateral damage of FAB-1500 is high, but it makes even imps in the hell tremble when dropped.
And to be treated more gently you need a different power balance. Either make them answer to you, or cut them out. You can't cut out a bombardment, though, and with the TRON project in Japan MS specifically have already shown that they are willing and able to use lobbying to force themselves onto you.
Reminiscent of the Soviet "they imitate pay, we imitate work" thing. Or medieval kings with reducing the metal percentages in coins. The modern Web is not very transparent, and the income is ad-driven, so it's not immediately visible how generated bullshit isn't worth nearly as much as something written by a human.
What I'm trying to say is that the way it's interconnected and amortized this Web is going down as a whole, and not just people poisoning it for short-term income.
This is intentional, they don't want to go down alone, and when more insularity exists, such people go down and others don't. Thus they've almost managed to kill that insularity. This will still work the same good old evolutionary way, just slower.
