    I’m sure a database of which companies do this sort of thing will appear online eventually and people will need to not furnish these companies with their patronage. It’s the only way to stop it.

      This is already a modern hellscape scenario that happens. Check out the UK postmaster scandal, a piece of software said that >100 postmasters across the country were stealing money. They all protested their innocence. Many were imprisoned for decades. Many committed suicide over it. Years afterward, they realised the software might be faulty, and didn't say anything. Only recently did they have to admit that it was probably a bug.
