Good, maybe the people who do it will be shamed into shaping up or shipping out.

Five years from now:

Apple spokesman claims reports that eye-tracking Accessibility feature usage was sold 'exaggerated'

A spokesman for Apple dismissed reports that the company's eye-tracking accessibility feature—designed assist impaired users with using their device by detecting eye movements—was also tracking their interest in potentially sensitive topics and selling the data to advertising partners and law enforcement agencies, calling the allegations "grossly exaggerated" and stating "the term 'sell' demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of the structure of Apple's partnership agreements as detailed in the Terms of Service". Whistleblowers claim the software runs constantly even when not enabled, and allegedly checks reading speed and pupil dilation to gauge interest in products and services, but also in "sensitive topics". According to data mined by researchers from the University of [Blue State], this allegedly includes topics such as race relations and white supremacy, protesting and civil disobedience, firearm ownership, industrial sabotage, anti-corporate activism, abortion, environmentalism, police brutality, and political movements. Apple declined to comment further after the conclusion of their press release.

I'm so glad idiots like you are a joke to the silent majority, who will continue living free under liberalism long after fascism and communism are forgotten.

What if language evolves to where the consensus opinion is to gatekeep silliness out of academia though? Evolution cuts both ways, English could theoretically evolve into a fully prescriptivized language like French, and that's just as valid an evolution.
