the “finding lost pets” shit is that type of manipulative evil you can only find in a capitalist dystopia. “sadly you all have some sort of rights so we can’t technically fully just spy on you. but if we tell you that we’ll find your kid’s lost puppy then you’ll let us spy on you of your own free will”
