> Has this actually been concluded? That it is the "tech industry's fault?" A lot of people believe it. The idea that this dystopia is the tech industry's sole fault has common currency, especially in young-and-progressive circles. Among other things, it means not really having to come to terms with decades of policy failure. It also means not having to examine how local government seems to keep failing, such as with public transit or public restrooms. Tech is an excellent newcomer and outsider. This makes it collectively an ideal scapegoat. Which is not to say the tech industry is innocent! But it is to say the way blame is apportioned could be better aligned with reality.
