I don't think it's fair to make that claim at all without data. This is the same argument that religious people use against sex education and condoms and it has never held water before.
Don't seatbelts encourage dangerous driving then? Don't vaccines encourage poor hygiene? Time and time again scientists have invented something that makes life drastically safer and time and time again they've been a huge net positives.
It doesn't make any logical sense to me and I've never seen any compelling evidence that this causes it to be a net negative.
