I don't think this matters. To my knowledge, much of what would cause the negative social consequences isn't necessarily coming out of the academy, or up for peer review. Instead, it's coming from companies who handle massive amounts of data and aren't submitting their tecnology (in general) as a paper to a peer-review board, but as a product to market. While researchers for these companies can and do publish, the end goal is profit, not publication.
