Wired: The Loneliness Epidemic Is a Security Crisis
https://www.wired.com/story/loneliness-epidemic-romance-scams-security-crisis/
This article understands a social problem through a medicalized lens (the ironically-contagious so-called "loneliness epidemic") then through an IT security lens and I wonder if maybe the article's double-layered technocratic framing reveals more about the problem than its substance (which FWIW I thought was fine).
