As for the "luddites" part, you miss an important distinction. Technology itself, such as GPS, is ethically neutral. However, there are many greedy people who will abuse it for their own advantage not caring at all about the consequences. It is especially clear once you have built a large company with a large influence on people's lives, attitudes, economy, and mental health. When you listen to people like Zuckerberg, it is clear they want to push away the responsibility in order to have all the benefits without any costs. When you see Uber develop Greyball it's clear that what their motives are. Investors flock to another "disruption" startup but if it turns out successful after some time people realize the very regulations that were attacked did have their purpose. We are not luddites, we are just reasonable people - humans first, then techies.
