What's really sickening is that you can tell that programmers or very technical people were involved at some level to design these systems which help people construct rubber-stamp plausible deniability. Whoever these people were knew full well that they were architecting systems that skirt the letter of the law if not outright flaunt it.

Somewhere there is an architectural diagram of these systems that describes how to make people check checkboxes before releasing information. CYA-oriented programming that has clearly driven the entire design of this thing.
