No laws to govern so they can do anything they want. Blame boomer politicians not the companies.

Why not blame the companies ? After all they are the ones that are doing it, not the boomer politicians.

And in the long term they are the ones that risk to be "punished", just imagine people getting tired of this shit and starting to block them at a firewall level...

Because the politicians also created the precedent that anything you can get away with, goes. They made the game, defined the objective, and then didn’t adapt quickly so that they and their friends would have a shot at cheating.

There is absolutely no narrative of “what can you do for your country” anymore. It’s been replaced by the mottos of “every man for himself” and “get while the getting’s good”.

I think that good behavior is implicitly mandated even if there's nobody to punish you if you don't.
