I've not seen case law that has focused on consent coerced by authorities like hospitals, government health and mental health officials, etc. There seems to be a presumption that they act with hard power like forceful demands while individuals are the ones who use soft power, manipulation and coercion to trick family members. Not allowing for authorities to employ soft power, too, to elicit consent they've manufactured.
"Nudge" public policy has never faced judicial scrutiny. Nudge units were established across the US during the Obama administration (and in the UK under Cameron) by executive orders, bypassing public comment and oversight. Psychological mind-farkery to help government officials achieve their public policy goals without much opposition, the soft power of propaganda and, well, brainwashing, has never faced legal challenged. They wield it like a weapon against a hostile populace they occupy and rule. Not a well-informed citizenry the serve at the pleasure of.
Reading about the Facebook files, my question is, what similar pressure was put on private employers, especially the regulated entities? My former employer had "red flag" training where managers were told to flag employees who protested government action or medical advice. Did the Biden administration in some way pressure large regulated employers to decide for their employees what was true and false? Real question- for Jeff also - is there a source of info on this? I am beginning to wonder how much farther than social media should Biden v Missouri exploring.
Thanks, good information point to share!
