High Order Bit
summary
Argues that the U.S. pursues a fast, pragmatic model: replace slow rulemaking with voluntary enforceable codes of conduct developed with industry and regulators. Cites concrete fixes: a personal health record code negotiated with HHS and enforceable at the FTC, and a mobile bill‑shock code created with carriers and the FCC that requires user alerts. Notes scale problems driving policy: ~5 billion people offline, >250,000 Germans opt‑out of Street View, and an OECD 34‑country statement of open‑internet principles.
