If a human was being paid to create this material, we’d rightly throw the book at them. So why should X get a free pass?
Fine them to the hilt and if they won’t comply, shut it down. We wouldn’t tolerate this offline. Why online?

The same goes for people who express a new-found concern for the poor when an energy transition beckons. They attempt this gambit even today, when renewables are cheaper than fossil fuels.
In reality, such people couldn't give a damn about the planet, or poverty. They are concern trolls.

Many of those who complain about mining for batteries / solar / wind power have curiously never raised a squeak about the far greater extraction required for fossil energy. Funny how they become concerned about the planet only when fossil fuel interests are threatened.
