In my experience, the algorithms are much more forgiving than humans. At least, when I worked with the risk team at my FinTech company, algorithms flagged people for review and then humans decided to unflag or terminate their accounts. The only time we’d do a freeze is if it looked like an account take over (since that could super badly affect the account owner).

Very true, I've seen similar things. Humans can be just as cold-hearted and unempathetic as a computer is, especially when they deal with problem "people" all day every day.
