In general, I'm anti-doxxing, but since this regime has encouraged racists to proudly shout hate with their whole chests, I'm all for it, and consequences.

autonomous delivery robots pushed into canals absolutely should not be humanized it's 50s SF brainrot gibberish to do so as a journalist
It's not just that. When I read the two snippets you posted, the writer makes the robot sound humanoid rather than like a piece of tech. They use the word injured instead of damaged. Just, everything they wrote feels like the robot is a lil guy getting picked on.

A far better approach would be to guarantee inalienable economic rights and structure society around their fulfillment.
