Interesting. I personally find that journalism all too often neglects the negative aspects of technologies, being far to eager to play up companies' own hype about the revolutionary impact of their technology or software without taking a second to examine the risks or shortcomings. See: social networking, cryptocurrency, autonomous vehicles, online advertising, hyperloop, online education, tablets/laptops/PCs in schools... The fact is that powerful technologies are usually quite easy to misuse intentionally or not. Often/usually just in a wasteful way--the tech isn't ready, or it's a waste of time and money, or it gets people to take ridiculous gambles and lose all their money. But sometimes the misuse is actually extremely dangerous. Huge unintended consequences are possible, and we are kidding ourselves to ignore it or to say "Don't blame the technology, only people can misuse technology." Well, people are imperfect, and it's irresponsible to pretend that the massively powerful tools we now have do not come with massive risks as well.
