While sexual assault is serious if true, it's also the only crime that can ruin someone's life and livelihood with no evidence or actual crime taking place.
Additionally there is often large financial incentive for accusers (and their lawyers) via lawsuits and it serves as a fantastic method of hurting people politically even if they are exonerated.
Two weeks ago i was in San Francisco with a friend that works in "big tech" discussing "profit motives" in technology.
They told me that the lobby behind their company had all sorts of tricks to help government "ignore" all the clearly negative things they are doing in the name of revenue. Lobbying, anonymous stock trading "tips" (see Pelosi), influence pedding, etc..
Modern technology companies are all doing what the Tobacco companies did, only they have more plausible deniability.
He's faced enormous challenges due to Google's "privacy" policies... Google is removing nearly all access to user data, they don't even like you looking at the user agent string (which issues a warning)... not to mention its impossible to know about search traffic and even referring urls.
Meanwhile Google has access to all this data, so he tells me all this is just gaslighting so they can illicitly protect their monopoly on web data.
Years ago a friend of mine in SF started a review site, it gained traction by being fair and balanced. Once the website was a top 1000 site on the internet, my friend started to try and make money with advertising.
After a while, he grew dependent on a few select advertisers. Too dependent.
While he had built the business with integrity, at some point, he decided to start "helping" his advertisers get better reviews... to build goodwill and keep the checks coming.
This is fine, except it undermines the purpose of a review site. This is the time when his traffic plained out and started to decline.
What’s the use case?
(I tried some things, and it blew up. Thus far my experience w agents in general)
