I'd say "better" as in "more likely", but I'm still not a fan of a handful of SV folks being the moral decision makers for the world as the general order of things.

Sadly, global corporations seem to be mostly able to choose which laws they want to comply with by shifting jurisdictions at will... "Oh no, for _tax purposes_ we're an Irish company! For privacy purposes we're European. For Intellectual Property purposes we're a Delaware C Corp. And, ummm, that department that doesn't exist is officially deputised by the Saudi Royal Family."
