- the government tortures its prisoners with their greatest fear (ie rats). in other words, they find out a person's weak spot and then exploit it for their own gain. advertisers literally do the commercialized version of that very thing nowadays: they monitor someones online activities to determine their interests, then use that information to target ads and try to sell them things
