The category "actions forced on humans 'for their own good' against their will" is not binary. There's actually a large gray area. I'd appreciate it if you would detail where you draw the line. A couple examples near the line: things someone would object to if they knew about them, but which are by no reasonable standard things that are worth them knowing about (largely these would be things people only weakly object to); an AI lobbying a government to implement a broadly supported policy that is opposed by special interests. I suppose the first trades on the grayness in "against their will" and the second in "forced".
