Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Ok so what exactly is your proposal? We've already established that what happened in this video is not illegal based on the laws of any of the countries that the people involved likely live in so what's next? How do you go from where we are now to the system you want to see implemented?

You're talking about abstract ideas and I'm talking about actionable realities. The two often conflict with each other. The world you're describing isn't the one we live in so if you you want to make it a reality you need to get much more specific about how to implement your vision. It's easy to say "do more" when you don't have to worry about the resources required or side effects of what you're asking for.

Normally I'd agree with the blanket statement that companies are allowed to get away with too much but the way you're applying that argument here doesn't make sense. You're also saying that people don't have any responsibility to protect themselves and I just can't agree with that statement. It's way too idealistic to be applicable to real life in any significant way.
