This is what happens when you remove all humans from the loop. The decisions made by software can be manipulated once you have a reasonable estimation of what the software is doing.
This time it's Russia. Next time it will be an American political party (whichever one you don't like). YouTube saved some money on human moderation, and all it cost was selling their platform to the first group willing to abuse the system.
And do you know how they'll respond? By trying to improve the automation. No no, no need to add costs by having humans in the loop, we'll just make better software. Because that's what worked so well for SEO, right?

But a quick search found it actually has been previously used in some interesting documents. I would like to see that phrase used more commonly. It seems important and timely. https://www.google.com/search?q=%22accountability+arbitrage%22 https://www.google.com/search?q=%22accountability+arbitrage%...
