That’s potentially harmful.

Far from established. Hypothetically harmful. Obvious harm would need to be present and provable. (Otherwise, it’s a political question.)

You could say the same thing about a hypertargeted ad platform optimized for political use cases (Cambridge analytica) before they were outed.

I think the point is it would be good to investigate future hypothetical harm before it becomes present and provable, at which point it’s too late.

Sure. That’s why we have the fourth estate. We don’t have anything close to what it would take to launch inquiries.
