Comment on What technology takes from us – and how to take it back
HailSeitan@lemmy.world 5 days agoI don’t know, that just seems too simple. There’s a good argument to be made that technology can embody political values and power relations, apart from its designers. The “guns don’t kill people” line doesn’t hold much water when all the empirical evidence shows that the mere presence of guns makes us safe.

You misunderstand me then…I’m not saying we should not regulate some technologies and what they’re allowed to be used for, we absolutely should. But blame should be put solely on the people using it in horrible soul crushing ways. They are terrible people doing terrible things, blame them, punish them.
