    Why wouldn't they? We have no consumer protections so this type of thing is happening everywhere all the time on every level of society.

    People with personality disorders, depression, anxiety, etc. all algorithmically being plied for attention. It's disgusting and nobody is doing anything about it, which will eventually erode buy-in in the system until someone is willing to let it all go without an adversary even firing a shot.
