I think it's good you're learning about this. These are known problems, and they've existed from the beginning, but because there's a fuckton of money greasing various palms, nobody with the power to do anything about it is doing anything about it. Just those rascally techbro scamps at it again, gosh darn it! /s
Keep learning, and warn your friends. The fewer people fatuously using this garbage, the better society will be.
