Yes UK, very intelligent. There is no law preventing this currently, which is why people are presenting it to you. So, you know, you can make a law about it.
I guess it really is true that the average human IQ has been decreasing.
You need to think on a Macro scale with stuff like this. The fact is that this voice got loud enough to get a response, and thats how the ball gets rolling.
Most politicians wouldnt consider the videogamers and tech crowd to be a great demographic to chase, but if theres one politician who needs an identity… one who thinks “I can be the “Pro-consumer rights” member. Videogames just being shut off, rights to books and movies you “bought” just being revoked…yeah thats a cause thats hard to argue against. Makes me look like a champion of the people. Especially young people.”
It got a “Yes, we heard you.” It doesnt mean you stop.
The point I’m trying to make is obviously there are no laws for it currently. That’s why a petition gathered enough signatures to warrant a response. “There’s currently no requirement” feels like a non-answer. That and the department then goes on to run defence for these corporations citing cost; indicating a misunderstanding of the movement. For sure agree that this is just the start and to keep going though.

What a response from a government lmao.
“Hey this is fucked and we want you to step in and do something about this.”
“Unfortunately we are currently doing nothing about this. That’ll be anywhere from $80-100k+ per year per politician, thanks.”
good news, politicians are often much cheaper than that to make laws tailored for your corporate special interests!

They’re saying there is nothing to fear because what they do now is legal and they have no interest in increased regulation.
They’re
