Again: what you can say with authority is that they decided not to pursue action at that time. You have no idea what their future plans are.



Every day that goes by is a day when they could’ve taken action but didn’t. The stuff they publish on the topic all seems reasonably well thought out, and is always consistent with a “we just want you to follow the rules in place even if you’re using novel tech to do things” mentality.

Sure, they can pivot into rabid dog mode at any moment, but they’re allowing things to proceed while being aware that it’s gaining more mainstream appeal.

The sort of posture you’re advocating is the same sort of scaremongering as the “this is all a Ponzi scheme that will blow up any day now” types are spewing.


True. And if at some point in the future their actions become aggressive and unreasonable, I would have a far less charitable view.

I can only judge them based on their actions to date, not what they might do in the future.
