Many algorithms aren’t even doing that in good faith, instead substituting in their low-cost contract cover bands as often as they can.

What could be more human than that?

The moratorium is actually since 2000, but only since 2006 in its current form. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_use_restriction_technology

Thankfully, no country, much less any multinational corporation, would ever dare cross the UN’s nonbinding, unenforceable moratorium.
