It's clearly technology's fault. Just like police never assaulted black/brown people before everyone had video cameras on their persons 24/7. And ufos stopped

It's clearly technology's fault. Just like police never assaulted black/brown people before everyone had video cameras on their persons 24/7. And ufos stopped visiting. On a serious note, you're running perilously close to google and the right to forget. I strongly agree with you, but it's the google party line that there's no difference at all between (1) the ability to conduct a background check on someone as long as you're willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars, and (2) the ability for anyone to conduct and publicize a background check for free. You'll note also that asshole Eric Schmidt simultaneously suggested people should change their names if they want youthful indiscretions not to follow them for the rest of their life while using his billions and lawyers to erase his mistresses' stories from the internet.
