The tragedy of tech regulation:
Politicians, who usually know little about tech, make their decisions based on the advice of lobbyists and marketers, who are selling tech, while ignoring experts, who are devoting their lives to knowing as much as possible about tech.
What could possibly go wrong? Well, everything!
Dear politicians, it's okay that you don't know everything. But please start listening to those who know better instead of those who are just selling!
