- travisgriggs 4y agoYeah, before the rise of the computer, none of those things really existed. /s
- Torifyme12 4y agoRight, but "It happened before us" isn't a valid defense if we keep enabling it. JFC.
- HDThoreaun 4y agoof course it is. You think progress should be stopped if it has any downsides at all?
- p0pcult 4y agoAnd we ruined the internet with advertising.
- milemi 4y agoThe world is much better than it used to be, you’re just more aware of all the present evil because the evidence is so much easy to gather, disseminate, and search for. Nobody was aware of the extent of police criminality before everyone had a camera in their pocket, as just one example.
- tomjen3 4y agoNo. Advertising and the need to drive engagement has made the world worse. At the root of most evil in the western world is advertising, it is just hidden well because it is good at moving the blame to, e.g, tech. Also those movements were there before tech.
