However I dislike this, in some sense we (as in Web users) started this idea that tech should be free from liability.

Then vultures came and try to both make it all work for them and at the same time be free from liability.

tech should be free from liability.

I call that a childish idea.

Yeah, I call everything absolute a childish idea.

Just like everything else, laws work when there is an alternative. When that ends, they are abused more and more by bad people.

Just like the letter I got yesterday from an ISP I haven't done business with in 4 years, letting me know my birthdate and SSN were compromised. Why did they even maintain it if they didn't have a need for it? Also, why did an ISP need that in the first place...

They offered 1 year of credit monitoring. Lol. I'll wait for the class action.
