No shit. All data brokery is a poison pill to justify itself. Until you illegalize the entire damn endeavor, it'll find a way to justify it's own existence through malicious compliance.
When a government demands people to have more kids to maintain it's inertia; whether it be U.S., China, or anywhere else, I can only say that the plot is completely lost, and said civic edifice deserves the collapse or be reformed through force. A people should never serve a government.
The love of money is the root of all evil. The tech industry is obsessed with tapping and creating new value flows to intermediate. It should be fairly obvious.
These are the same types who have poisoned the well of information that was the Internet you can actually find things on for the sake of the ad driven model. Far as I'm concerned, the moral injuries are the same even if the physical details are different.
Most of the cretins here are perfectly content with the status quo. Only reason I hang around is to keep a finger on the dystopian wet dream of the week and to occasionally pour ice water in the worst of them, or shake the hornet's nest a bit to see if I can dislodge a few souls before they're irretrievably lost.
If you're just going to dismiss someone pointing out that something isn't only what it appears to be on a surface level (the intent behind the semantics of "It isn't X, it is Y," as AI to be ignored; how exactly do you intend to maintain any depth to your own perception of the world? The world is filled with things that appear to be one thing at first blush, but end up being something else at further scrutiny. In point of fact, most evil cloaks itself in the trappings of things we consider good, and only have their evil show once you tear them down and figure out how they really work.
