- not_enoch_wise 4y agoWHO COULD HAVE POSSIBLY anticipated that this technology would have nefarious uses, and/or unintended conseque- Oh right, warnings for years, no one cares. The free market has spoken!
- verdenti 4y agoIs this a nefarious use case?
- alexvoda 4y agoThis is not an issue of the free market, it is the curse of progress in general. The free market is a concept that is actually fragile and rather rare in reality. Progress is unstoppable and brings with itself nefarious uses and consequences. It all depends on whether we, humanity, are good stewards of that progress. If what you actually want to say is that some counter-progress force should exist, than that is naive.
- mrlonglong 4y agoWhat's funny is that the Koran doesn't specify how you must cover yourself. It is enough to cover your arms or your head, nowhere does it say you must cover yourself head to toe and totally veil one's face. It's just another way men seek to control women.
