There is a word for what Keir Starmer did to Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire and that word is "isolate." To isolate someone means to cut them off. To cut off the Baudelaires means to deprive them of the small flickering possibility that somewhere out there someone might see their faces and recognize that something had gone terribly wrong. The social media ban ensures that no post of the orphans will ever go viral. No photograph of the beleaguered children will ever appear on the insta feed of a sympathetic stranger who might pause and think to help. The algorithms will never learn of the Baudelaires' existence. And so the orphans will move through life unseen, unrescued, and entirely dependent on their own resources. Against a villain who is not only free to open as many accounts as he wants, but also actively abetted by the revenue share he earns through them.
