The first thing you have to do is ban USA-based online marketplace companies from hosting foreign vendors. Then you can better regulate what is left.

Or you can hold the marketplace companies responsible for whoever markets on them.

Of course can't hold foreign marketplaces responsible at all - but that is a different loophole we can close (if it becomes a problem Amazon will ensure it is)

Classic Hacker News to complain about the market abusing the public's trust but when someone suggests a government make a change that benefits their own constituents over other countries it's down voted.

Why should a foreign marketplace get the same benefit of the doubt as a domestic market? Especially if those foreign markets belong to countries that are hostile to mine?
