I remember there was a bug (or intended behavior?) of people getting their accounts banned for certain kinds of mundane chat messages in live streams and I’m a little spooked that the same will happen with the recent escalation in the adblocking arms race.

    I read a post-cyberpunk novel a few years back called Moxyland. If you evaded arrest they didn’t put a warrant out. They just rescinded all your permissions and deactivated your phone. Then you either turned yourself in, or starved to death because there was no way to interact with society without your phone.
