If it does happen the company has no one to blame but themselves, because when you abuse people like this there will be a backlash, it's to be expected
Backlash only means something when the entity getting backlashed is somehow hurt by that backlash.
When the company's immune to accountability, consequences, & responsibility, then .. backlash changes nothing.
The difference-in-leverage between citizens vs the companies doing this is now sooo huge, that there's no significant chance of accountability or correction ever happening, in many countries.
