This is pretty much the textbook definition of moral panic.
Yeah, I laughed when I hit this bit.
"Deeply unlikely" sounds like a stylistic mistake by a bad LLM. I've never heard that one.
"Highly unlikely" is the more common expression
I think I've heard "deeply" being used that way for a good few years now. Might have been making its way round for a while!
Except that definition had an absence of evidence.
