> We need legislation to pass.

Laws don't prevent firms from doing illegal things. Without public awareness, nothing will change.

Laws aren't the fine step, but the biggest one. You'd be surprised how many companies comply without any coaxing once they are made aware of new legislator.

And for those that don't: we now have a legal channel to report them to. Having the government enforce its laws is more effective than trying to arrange a general boycott.

Do laws serve any purpose? If so, what?
