> If someone stabs me in a park, sure it is a sad state of affairs if no one will call the ambulance, but surely the fellow I should be more upset with should be the stabber, no, and not aloof by-standers? More like, if you go to the park that's closed off behind a wall, with signs saying "CRAZY KNIFE STABBING BASTARD INSIDE" all over the place, and get stabbed... Yeah, the stabber is in the wrong, but what you did is still stupid. It's a similar lack of foresight on the part of the public that allowed tech companies to boil that frog. That the companies act like batshit insane stabbers is obvious and expected. They could have been stopped at any point in the last twenty years. The fact that they hid the knife most of the time behind a fake smile and then stabbed the knife just deep enough for it to be "below the threshold of pain", repeatedly and consistently, should have raised alarm bells and sparked opposition. Instead, they were allowed to go all the way to AC needing WiFi connection. Yeah, there's no argument that tech companies are the perpetrators, but giving them a chance to act that way for so long is a failure of society.
