1. Yeah, and a doctor and a rocket surgeon, it's hard being this talented. Just doing my job, ma'am.
2. I think — and maybe I'm being optimistic here — the one thing we can all agree on is jealously guarding our independent rights and privacies. We may not ever agree on actually doing it vs. not doing it, but if we take away that choice, and it seems like that's exactly what's happening, the next best thing is offering people legally protected autonomy. I can't think of a single person on any side of the array of arguments that have played out on the network so far that would disagree with that sentiment. Granted, they'll probably (extremely vocally) complain that it isn't enough, and it isn't, but in lieu of getting to do anything about that...
and frankly if you stick it all in a contract it'll be so long and complex most of them won't bother reading enough of it to bicker about the minutia
If it's got to happen, the best way to do it would be to preemptively gather the people intent on signing up and pull them into an initial breakout session with a legal team to give their input high-level, let the experts do their job drafting up something that thoroughly covers the specifics, meet up again to confirm the finalized contract, then have that team represent them in the negotiations with Riverstone before anybody signs a single fucking thing
I'm not saying that's the best or only solution, but it's the first idea that comes to mind
