You can find young people ready to do silly reckless shit easily enough. But that's one reason why shit like OSHA exists. But instead of San Diego DAs and safety regulators wading into the mess, what we saw was a bunch of Silicon Valley lawyers waving boilerplate release forms in an effort to obscure their own liability.

That's a bit separate from a Computers issue. Its more a bullshit legalese issue that's designed to keep working stiffs marginalized while tech companies do as they please.
