alt Hacker NewsThats assuming the people using automated tools don't have legitimate complaints and putting the blame on them for their government's failure. If the system was designed better and responded better, maybe less people would have to turn to spamming the IRS line (as an example) when it opens for a glimmer of hope of talking to a person.
Same with the job search. if so many companies didn't make it a pain to input your information, maybe they could get more sympathy.
Nobody thinks that everyone using automated services to beat parking tickets or whatever was actually being wrongfully accused. Most just want to find a loophole to get out of it.
You're missing the important part where people with legitimate complaints are being crowded out by these frivolous attempts to avoid fines. Everyone loses when filing automated frivolous complaints becomes the default response to getting a parking ticket, for example.

Again, the spammers are taking away from legitimate applicants
