I'm torn on the matter. I think wealth inequality and this sort of parasitic nature of the structure of society probably will continue to make appallingly immoral actions a given. A friend of a friend is a fairly high-powered and highly paid lawyer that works in digital law and has immediately been inundated with work from clients looking to mitigate their online exposure because this scared them. As far as I'm concerned, we should just have socialized medicine and not have millionaires who act as gatekeepers to healthcare. This event could honestly just be a one-off. I think the fear and underlying political climate though makes people think and perhaps a little bit wish it's the start of something more. That's the more alarming context.
