I can't speak for OP, but that is one reason I want to end all involuntary treatments. Getting locked up in a psych facility is a nightmare to me.

But you can at least sue a doctor and get his license revoked. It is much harder to sue an algorithm.

Are you sure you have thought through all implications? I mean, getting locked up sounds pretty scary, but there are a lot of other scary stories that can happen if you really ban the whole concept of involuntary treatments.
