Tbh this is possible only in software. No matter what you do - epic incompetence, leak user data, doxx users, basically allow their identities to be stolen etc - zero consequences. Kinda crazy. In any other industry they would not even allow you in the door without showing some king of understanding what you do. You can't even sell hotdogs without food license. But in software - wild west.
The general public has come to accept that computers are magic. Sometimes the magic does good things, sometimes it does bad things. If there's a person with a public profile who is seen to be controlling the computers, governments might do something to punish that person, but if they remain invisible, no one dares tamper with the magic.
