    Personally, I’d rather have a robust and up-to-date set of consumer protections rather than leaving everything up to ‘buyer beware’.

      That would be ideal of course, but this is the US we’re talking about, so it seems unlikely that you’ll have them.

        They should just lie down and give up then I guess?

        Just transfer every cent they own into the hands of the Trumps/Musks/Cooks/Zuckerbergs/Bezos/Pichais of the world and get it over with, why bother trying?

          I’m suggesting they should refuse to use the services of companies that act like this.
