This seems like a policy problem and not a tech problem.
It always has been a policy problem. You've got your head in the sand if you think tech could be great if only people/corporations can just be made to be nice. Wake the f* up. People and corporations will use technology to exploit people. Not all of them, but enough of them to ruin it for everyone else.
This is where we disagree

Sorry, the support for my bionic eyes must have been dropped. Where is this insane protectionism?
Do you not recall the literal trade war we were in before COVID?
Theres still onsistently high tariffs on imported goods, and the US government is even considering banning the sale of US steel to Nippon
Oh gotcha, I thought you meant consumer protection laws. Not international trade. My bad for not catching that
