PocketEpiphany Published 06/13/2022 in ouch

The law determines what we can and can't do (at least without getting caught). But what about when the law changes? Twenty years from now, the law is going to be WILDLY different. Here are the things from AskRedditwe sure hope will be completely outlawed by then.

1. Data privacy violations.Hopefully.
2. Charities spending less than 5% of the money they are donated to the cause due to big “overheads.”
3. Child marriage.
4. Family vlog channels. There’s been many instances where families have exposed intimate inappropriate parts of a child’s upbringing, and I wouldn’t be surprised if there are legal cases in the future for exploitation or damages. I’d say it will be age-restricted at least since the kids can’t consent.
5. Multi-level Marketing, a lot more people are seeing these for what they are.
6. Telemarketing. God, please, ban telemarketing.
7. Subscription services for certain product features. It's ridiculous that one requires a subscription service to use the key fob for his/her car.
8. Government officials owning/trading individual stocks.
9. Commercials for drugs. Illegal in many countries already.
10. Companies buying single-family homes, hopefully.
11. I believe it is currently legal in 30 states for doctors to do pelvic exams on unconscious women without their consent for “educational and teaching purposes”. This better change soon.
12. Hopefully child beauty pageants.
13. Advertisements for sports gambling.
14. If the game can be sold to children, it should not have microtransactions.
15. Online tracking. I mean why isn't this illegal already? If I would follow someone in real life and write down everything they do I will get arrested, but Google can do exactly this with no problems?
16. Deepfakes.
17. Skipping ads on YouTube.
18. Helium-filled balloons. At least for recreational use.
19. Going to work while sick. Did the pandemic teach us anything?
20. Single-use plastic.
