    I fail to see how that is significantly different than what we have nowadays with humans.

    We are dependent on large corporations already, some of us just materially while others ideologically as well.

    We are denying healthcare, food, water, and shelter to people who can’t afford ridiculous prices or hold the wrong social status or have the “wrong” beliefs, skin colour, sexual orientation, gender identity, (etc., etc.) which is essentially killing them. That’s if we don’t just outright decide to ““liberate”” some other nation from whatever arbitrary reason and start carpet bombing civilians in hospitals because a handful of terrorists are supposedly active within said nation.

    Catfishing has been a thing since the inception of third-party dating, and scams were a thing since before recorded history. Lying is as old as sentience itself.
