issues around these kinds of legal liability situations are why so many companies hung on to systems like fax machines for so long. Or why so many banks still run on cobol.
If a company’s machine does something illegal, the company is liable for allowing the machine to be set up in a way that allowed it to happen.
“Your honor, I didn’t know the computer would do that” is not a viable legal defense.
