Sure it does. It lets them smile and say, "We did tell you. But you chose to do nothing." Probably even while you're grieving at the recent loss of your child or loved one.

As always, when it comes to the intersection of techbros, threats of legislation and society, this is about making their problems and decisions your responsibility. Politicians fall for it every time, because they love "personal responsibility" rhetoric, and Number Must Go Up continues as before.
