This I can get behind... but I do always go to the options and turn on "push to talk."

I don't like the idea of legislation requiring such a thing though.

We need legislation because PM's pushed to profit by CEO's just cross the line far too often. It's hard to explain but when you see it, you understand. It's the game we create. We don't even need to point the finger, because usually it's not 'someone's fault' is just stuff that happens. Many of these decisions are made even without deliberation.

It'd be nice to have 'best practices' oversight instead of lawyers but we're not that sophisticated yet.

And we don't really have a way of contemplating 'scale' aka once companies reach a certain size, their impact is greater and we have to be more careful.
