The parent has the flaw that a lot of people do. They don’t seem to understand that not everyone is a mostly decent person and that there exist bad actors in any population. You can’t get away from this in any society, for example what percentage are psychopaths? That means if you create systems (like this) that eventually bad actors can exploit for themselves, they will, and they do. It’s not a conspiracy. It doesn’t happen right away. But slowly it’ll happen that the few percent can use these tools in ways to serve themselves over the interests of the wider population. (I don’t know why this is hard to comprehend, just look at the bad actors around you in your $dayjob.)
