Adoption subversion

Adoption subversion refers to the situation where the original intent or purpose of a system, practice, or idea is undermined or altered when it's adopted by others. This can happen when users misunderstand the original purpose or when the context changes, leading to unintended consequences. For example, a technology designed to improve communication might be used in ways that promote misinformation instead. Essentially, adoption subversion occurs when the way something is used diverges from its original goals, potentially leading to negative outcomes or misunderstandings about its value.
