Automated license plate readers spring to mind. The police have been noting license plates forever, automate it and suddenly now you have a database that tracks everyone's movements.

Chandrayaan-1 was an impact lander, so it landed on the Moon in a "controlled manner" (ie on purpose). Apparently the lander was painted with the Indian flag[1]. 1: https://web.archive.org/web/20090112054329&#

There are ways to report on suicide responsibly that are supported by evidence[1]. I think we need similar guidelines for mass shootings. [1] http://reportingonsuicide.org/

The Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act makes no guarantee of "neutrality" nor does it prevent sites from "manipulating" the things they display.
