Allowing commerce ~~on the Internet~~ was a mistake. That’s the root of all this bullshit, anyway.

That's more accurate.

You can't put everything back in Pandora's Box. Right or wrong this is the world we live in. What is lacking is regulation. If left to their own devices we (royal) are shitheels. Unfortunately we (royal) are persistent shitheels which is why when we put in regulations we then strive to rip them out.

Do you mean "we (humans)"? Because "the royal we" just means "I". Like how the queen says "we are not amused" when they mean "I don't like it". Related to how in many European languages (including early-modern and older English) the plural is a polite form of address (like tu and vous in French, du and sie in German, thou and you in English)
