Does this mean we dont get to be tracked, data mined, ad-bombed, and exploited while our teens dont get depressed and sick from "social" media?

Well, if thats the price we pay, thats the price we pay... :)

Also punish the people responsible, like the developers, for their software and choice of used libraries.

What??

You write shitty code and it breaks something? You should be punished accordingly.

You load libraries without checking each and every one and now something's broken? You should be punished accordingly.

You load proprietary code and now something's broken? You better checked the whole contract so you can punish the creators after you've been punished.

Software developers often have way more reach (over distance and over time) than they realize. They should be held accountable more like doctors or engineers.
