As a software dev, I don't think there really is a better way. One thing you could do to avoid this is to install a second drive and boot to completely different OSes. You could boot to a Linux drive for personal stuff, and only use Windows for gaming.
These gaming companies are pretty aware that they go bankrupt if they either get a reputation for abusing anti-chrst data OR are full of cheaters. They have some incentive to use data ethically. But it's still a good thing to keep an eye on.
I'm not really in favor of a wealth tax. Maybe, if we really need to claw back our mistakes, but I think there are better approaches.
A tax on loans based on wealth seems great though. If you have the wealth, why are you borrowing? What are the legitimate uses of secured loans?
Capital gains taxes should be higher than payroll taxes. Always and forever.
Marginal tax rates exist for a reason, and it's absurd that we stop progressive taxation after $700k. The difference between making $800k/year and making $15m/year is ridiculous. At $800k/year you at least want to make the business last for a decade. After you cash out for $15m in a year, are you really accountable to anyone?

Grand Jury issues indictments, can put you in jail until trial, and there's generally no defense or judge present. They only need probable cause.
Advertise. And Geocaching is a great way to do it.
I'd recommend a post in the community encouraging people to put a url and/or QR code into some geocaches. Maybe with a sticky at the top of the community that explains what Lemmy is.
Consider the point of view of a person who finds the QR code in the geocache.
They refused to respond to an Australian government investigation. (Because Elon fired the two people who interfaced with Australia.)
The fine is not directly because they haven't cracked down*, but because they couldn't competently answer if they're handling it at all.
(* and they've probably fired enough trust and safety people that they're also having trouble there, but that's not exactly what the fine is for.)
