It’s not even that the lawmakers are capitalists, it’s that they are ancient, and have no clue about this. There are sitting congresspeople who proudly say they’ve never sent an email.
I strongly doubt legislators are innocent old men, just caught off guard by tech, even if some might. They know what it is and are trying to figure out how to control it.
And the lawmakers don’t even need to be capitalists themselves (even though they mostly are), they just need to be in their pockets. Its not a coincidence their legislation is almost always beneficial to corporations one way or the other.
Hell, in the US lobbying is legal, its not even a secret.
I never called anyone innocent and never implied it. I was highlighting the true issue is that our whole legislature is completely outclassed by the progress of tech.
