This seems very likely to happen.

This seems sadly very unlikely to follow. I doubt even a "juvenile starved to death"- or "kid stranded because bus ticket purchase was denied"-story would put a dent in this project.
Don't get me wrong, I think it should, I just don't think it very likely.
With 1 billion users, a serious bug/pattern that affects 0.1% of the users - harms a 100 000 people.
But their voices still drown in the crowd, as far as I can tell.
