First SV used unethical data mining and ad targeting techniques to earn millions of dollars and now they are spending those dollars unethically to get an advantage for their kids. This is definitely a behavioral pattern at this point.

These are not all the same people. Is this pattern-matching or just bias?

True, but both sorts of activities seem in line with the values that SV seems to hold most dear.
