The 'addicting' aspect of what the tech companies have created and the behaviours they are willing to go to get their 'users' hooked is why the 'user' comparison to 'drug users' makes sense.
- tokai 6y agoNo it really doesn't. Are library users called users because the library preys of their patrons addiction to literature? This is a very weak wordgame, that at best muddies the point about tech companies.
- kgraves 6y agoThere are multiple instances of tech companies exhibiting this 'drug user' behaviour on their customers, I am sure you don't have any examples for your false comparison.
- tokai 6y agoYou are not understanding the issue here. Nobody is saying that tech companies ain't doing bad things. Let's stop this argument, as we're are not having the same argument.
