No problem with being liable for bugs so long as I can hold my politicians liable for the bugs in their legislation (eg. environmental legislation, failures of economic policy etc).
Accountability if good if it works both ways; and saying "we're liable already -- we get voted out" is the same as a coder saying "we're liable already -- we get fired".
I'd love to read the ethics committee application for this 'experiment'! How do you justify this kind of thing for a few photgraphs (oh, and the honour of getting the first video).

Do I read this right: have they legislated to prevent the provision services by the state to the people?
These will become essential and ubiquitous services, disallowing state provision will once more disadvantage the disadvantaged.
But perhaps I misread it.
