There is an issue with IT...

... and it's that 99% of the general population and 99.99% of politicians haven't got a clue regarding IT.

There is also the traditional "light touch" regulatory approach to IT , and I wrote "traditional" because this has been going on for more than seventy years. I reckon that treating a widely used technology that is pivotal in modern life, and has the potential to cause a worldwide societal collapse, as "experimental, buy at your own risk, very limited guarantee" is f*cking suicidal!.

Let's start by adding regulations for IT products regarding security. Yeah, there would be costs involved, but the costs of not adding said regulations will be astronomical.
