This is why we need rules and laws in a society - to protect individuals from unscrupulous, unethical corporations that fail to deliver on their obligations to their customers. Our governments are failing us by allowing corporations to have all the power and zero accountability.

EU 261 is a baby step in the correct direction, at least in one region of the world, but much, much more needs to be done.
