Maybe it's just an issue of scale, but there are plenty of concrete cases where people speak out against coercion (either by law enforcement of private entities, like banks). I agree the system can be abused, but I don't think it's unreasonable to want to know how widespread the abuse is. I think the author failed to provide that. Saying that, it's now clear to me that CEC is also failing in this respect. What system do they have in place to make sure people aren't being coerced? The hands-off approach is rather convenient to not having to be accountable.
