Not sure what the BBB has to do with regulation? They are just a private organisation.

(And you are right, that they don't do a good job of what they are ostensibly trying to do.)

> It's because we used to regulate against the ability to sell something which didn't do the main task it purported to do.

If someone lies about what the product can do, can't you just sue them for fraud or so? (Do a class action lawsuit, if the individual damages are too small.)



Sure and in seven years maybe you will get <$100 and innumerable other bad acts and actors will continue.

This flow has been so detoothed its hardly an inconvenience for F500s in most cases
