web services are frequently designed to manipulate beliefs and behaviors in intentionally dishonest ways. The consequences are far-reaching and can range from mental health issues in individuals, to the societal corruption of democracy, to the deterioration of the planet through increased internet use. When we're truthful with web users and do not seek to mislead or manipulate them, we not only serve the best interests of the people using our products, but also create a more environmentally sustainable web.
