All technology has no inherent moral compass, and allows for both desirable and undesirable effects, often in tandem.
Google has done more to make information accessible than any other company, and by extension has also done more to make misinformation accessible.
It takes a moral compass to use technology morally and ethically. There simply isn't a substitute, and technology itself will not provide one.

And if used long enough, will allow for rapid regional/global transmission of an epidemic/pandemic. The World of Warcraft 'Corrupted Blood incident' is actually a virtual example of this that shows just how quickly something highly contagious could spread in the real world https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrupted_Blood_incident https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrupted_Blood_incident . But at the same time it allows things like getting medical diagnostic agents that have a usable life of a day or less to get where they need to be, donor organs to be moved quickly to recipients, etc.
