It's easy to see the potential technology has to fulfill your values. It's harder to see the potential it has to fulfill other people's values (which may be very different from yours). Overall, what technology does most readily is magnify what people or societies are inclined to. So, in a capitalist/corporate economy where scale is incentivized and rewarded, technology will tend to magnify that. It can also magnify the chances early adopters have to make a new entry into the market for a certain window, but it won't alter the overall dynamic (this is a descriptive commentary, not necessarily normative). And boy, I remember when I thought the main obstacle to well-balanced political discussion was a lack of easy access to thoughtful, reliable information.
