I’d love to build tools that automatically exercise your rights as a consumer against these large corporations. The simple truth is that they rely on the social norms of a society as weapons against them, whilst simultaneously breaking the codified ones.
They rely on people not knowing their rights or not having the time/ability to fight them.
It's not just a corporate thing, but a problem in the US as a whole that the government banks on. When people are overworked, underpaid, and uneducated then they don't have the time/ability to keep up with politics, fight for their rights, and see how they've been getting fucked by local, state, and federal government for decades.

Norms like being honest and not stealing? society gets really expensive and unfriendly when we have to use enforcement instead of norms.
Can confirm. Cost of transactions in trust-less societies is a very heavy burden. Also, it goes hand in hand with corruption.
