I mean, okay.

Step 0: Company secretly abuses you. Step 1: New regulation requires that the abuse be disclosed.

More than I expected out of this administration. Honestly thought they’d say “Do it more! Abuse of customers is innovation or something!”

Obviously the solution is actually to make this practice illegal and aggressively persue violators like they’re Ecuadorian fishermen and a new batch of Epstein emails dropped with incomplete redactions, but the bar for this administration is so low it’s somewhere at the bottom of the river Styx, so gg I guess.
