It's definitely an artifact of my personality but I don't get the sense they are unwilling, though I imagine they would be coerced anyway and you could certainly start a discussion about how meaningful their consent would be in that context. I'm a broken record but the profit motive is what will always always always enable this: people depend on this machine for their livelihoods and are only personally responsible for a negligible, ignore-able portion of its activities. Path of least resistance in a world of friction is these companies will continue to act with an agenda even its employees might disagree with (if that isn't fault tolerance though idk what is!)
