I am ashamed that I hadn’t reasoned this through given all the rubbish digital services have pulled with “purchases” being lies.

No, free market isn't "supposed" to self regulate. That's silliness. The only people who say that have no understanding of the concepts.

Regulation is required. Unfortunately with regulatory capture it's not happening.

Yep. The self regulating market is either utopian vision by blind idealists or double speak for maximizing profits and fucking over anybody and anything while doing it.
