Developing and using apps like this is a choice, there’s no inherent force propelling them into existence other than people thinking it’s a good idea. I’m explaining why it’s not a good idea.

- port11 8mo ago‘Technology is neutral’ is one of the most cynical excuses, as it permits developers to remain in a child-like fantasyland where consequences do not exist, and shifts the blame to… nowhere I guess, since we also don’t like regulation or moral takes on what gets built.
