They had a proposal, it's a good one: let's have a legal framework!
But their example is still pretty simple.
How would you put it together so it actually works? We're going to need one pretty soon, by the looks of it.
Their proposal was not let's have a legal framework. Their proposal was the legal framework should be the operator would be liable always. It was not an example. They wrote 3 examples how it would work. You wrote 0 examples how it would not work.
Sure:
* horseless carriage, needed new laws
* dog/biting (you engaged with this one)
* credit card credentials
* And the situation at hand where an agent writes a mean blog post.
Straight liability isn't always correct. Who is liable for the crash when the car's brakes fail? When a dog bites, you are not charged with biting (though you can get some pretty serious other charges) . If a bot snarfs your credit card credentials, what's the legal theory who gets the blame for the results? Idem the mean blog post.
