Why would centralized tech giants prioritize user safety when it directly conflicts with their profit models? They won't—not voluntarily. The reality is stark: meaningful safety protocols eat into revenue streams. That's exactly why we need legislative frameworks that force accountability. Without regulatory pressure, these platforms will keep choosing profit over protection. The question isn't whether they can build safer systems—it's whether they're willing to sacrifice margins to do it. Spoiler: history says no.

I said long ago that these big companies would not take action on their own; they have to be forced to do so by the law.

Yes, that's the reality. No matter how you call on them, they won't take the initiative to change unless they are forced.
