    I swear the only legitimate response to a corporation saying “I’m going to self regulate”

    Is:

    “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Ok anyway, here are the regulations we’re going to enforce.”

      That fact that is not taken as a given, speaks a lot about how deeply ingrained corruption is in our society.

      I would almost argue that even “neutral” newswires like AP/Reuters should use language like “Companies A, B, C, have created a common PR organisation that will be focused on self-regulation polemics …”.

      yeah how is this even allowed, promise or no promise? why can’t individuals do this? “hey, no need to write any laws on poisoning your boss, promise i will self-regulate.”

      Any entity or group that can be trusted to self-regulate wouldn’t raise the question about whether they need to be regulated in the first place.
