This a crime against humanity and therefore the punishment should be capital.Of course, some will say I am overreacting. Okay, fine, let's lower the bar: Any direct and punitive consequence of any kind to even one of the individuals behind this criminal and unethical act.
If not, there is no rule of law. If there is no rule of law, and if the powerful can simply wield power against us and our home, if they are allowed to poison us for profit, our days remaining are few.

I don't think a smartphone's carbon footprint is bad when running a small local AI model compared to the E-Waste produced by manufacturing. -
