  • This is useful insight but I think it’s important to remember that, as messed up as it sounds, different companies and their lawyers will interpret laws differently. It will be a risk vs reward calculation for each company. They won’t consider if it’s illegal or not, they’ll consider whether they’re likely to be prosecuted, what the fines would be, what the reputational damage would be, whether they have more lawyers than the government of a moderately sized country etc.

    I probably agree with the interpretation you’ve given and would like the governments to go after companies that think otherwise but that sadly isn’t how it works.
