Software with code that is not transparent means that code itself can be a kind of law in itself or set of rules if not seen or understood by others outside of itself... 

If breaking any software or set of rules is against the law itself then, as a whole or effectively, the law ends up covering whatever a publisher wants with less caveats and less restriction under the software protection.

(often I think, innocently and not innocently, law / science / tech don't understand what their codes are or can't see the computer code itself (often both) in order to then understand how / what to moderate about it or even what's bad to start with)

Here's a list... I welcome more

- What algorithms are currently set in Twitter / Facebook
(....what any platform is actually favouring using live algorithms, when it was changed. WOULD BE GOOD TO SEE THAT!)

- GDPR and cookies - what it means or what it effectively does and doesn't do (...why / how it does it)

- Google Camera Cars (filming people and places without consent or against various state rules....
( states or a whole country realising they need to put "No google cars" into their rules books!)

- more as list welcome....
