2) More insidiously, companies that were going to make tons of money from advertising, and sold banner ads at huge CPMs, because there was no accountability for conversion performance.
This feels a lot like #2, except it's not just bullshit conversion performance (which here could be interpreted as repeat visits), it's also pre-inflation of retail price to give the appearance of "value" where really there is none. Groupon's sales reps themselves advise merchants to "temporarily" double the retail price of their goods so they can offer 50% "discounts".
And let's unseal all the sealed criminal files, too. I want to know who is making secret plea bargains and settlements and evaluate whether they were appropriate decisions or not by the district attorney. Oh, and I also want to know who is really guilty or not. And don't forget the juvenile ones - we know character doesn't really change just because you hit the age of majority - I demand to know who the rotten kids were, because I just KNOW they are rotten adults, too, and I want to make sure they can't get jobs that I don't feel they deserve.
And let's unseal all the witness protection program files, too! I want to know who in my neighborhood might be the target of a mafia hit, so I can bully them into moving away.
