Just was talking about this last night, albeit too simplicity now that I read through this. My main point to people is that fines like “5 billion” sound like a lot but to regular people, but to these corporations it’s nothing. I like your breakdown of the 1-5 steps. Especially that they decide to do it and they know they might get caught or maybe not and then they’ll just settle, press release, and keep it moving. We need more personal accountability.
Yeah, I think nothing changes (including personal accountability) until our elected officials aren’t in the pockets of the corporations. Same reason that what you write about - the damage that tech causes - is ignored by those in power, regardless of what party they represent.
Voting reform is needed, so long as 2 party system persists and big money is allowed in politics, there is no incentive to depolarize or actually be accountable to the people.

Thanks Courtney :)
