> it seems rather clear to me that all these things cannot and will not be resolved on the implementation level

Absolutely! This is why we need good legislation. Tech issues will never be solved by tech builders. All tech measures invariably have a tech counter-measure. We've been round this loop so many times over the last two decades. It's a Sisyphean nightmare.

> It is structurally impossible to design your way out of capitalism

This is what good legislation can do for us. The only problem is it takes a lot longer to introduce good legislation than it takes to build bad tech. I'm optimistic that we're approaching the end of the bad tech era.

> Short of economic changes that are completely outside the particular problem domain that these kinds of posts tackle, there is nothing at all to be done.

I reckon legislators in the EU would disagree. They are doing a lot and it's starting to work.
