Technology is not neutral, nor it does exist in a vacuum. It is not neutral due to the fact that humans are not impassible wielders of technology.
Assuming you define tools and technology as the same thing I disagree.

The internet is used for social media and news. But it’s also used for child porn.

Tools are neutral, it’s how they are used that makes a tool like a gun, something that feeds a family or something that kills innocent people.
