This is already a modern hellscape scenario that happens. Check out the UK postmaster scandal, a piece of software said that >100 postmasters across the country were stealing money. They all protested their innocence. Many were imprisoned for decades. Many committed suicide over it. Years afterward, they realised the software might be faulty, and didn’t say anything. Only recently did they have to admit that it was probably a bug.
The quasi-religious belief that technology can not make mistakes and somehow lacks the biases of those that make it and program it continues to fuck us all.

Those postmasters got screwed! Some remortgaged their homes, all sorts, to pay what the computer said was missing from the till.
Everyone involved should be killed, holy shit
