Not until proven innocent, no. We need hardware and software we can inspect, that's not an unattainable goal.

It may seem far away, but any other direction is even worse... so I'd rather head towards a goal that is far away than into a wilderness that is just as far away, but boring and empty at best, terrible at worst.

I feel like the assumption that everyone is guilty just puts everyone on par with the guilty so before proven innocent ... why bother?

It seems like the net effect would be to just provide cover for all actual offenders making them equal with everyone.

Presumably, doing the right thing (TM) becomes their USP?

It's not of much value if like the other users they just assume you're doing the wrong thing already.
