Isn't that exactly what Flock are doing to tens of thousands of people a day? So why the double-standard.

I actually agree it is unnerving, I just don't agree that one should be held to a different standard than the other.

harassing a worker is not the way to fix the problem. The worker has no agency to affect the changes desired by the harasser. It's an issue with the gov't, and needs civic procedures to change.

This behaviour is the same as harassing hospitality staff for bad prices. Harassers would be considered borderline committing terrorism if they go further.
