Ok, I disagree with Cory Doctorow due to the modus operandi of any tech organisation trying to turn a profit in a late stage capitalistic society along with the more detailed reasons others have provided in this post.
And I'm tired of the Guardian publishing hopium articles.
They have been hired predominantly because of their ability to not question what they are told.
They arrived at a somewhat defendable decision despite the AI slop though.
Probably should have been a limited number of fans allowed, the number based on the ability to protect them with the police resources available at the time.
