So what you’re saying is technology can be abused by bad actors and the solution is.. stop developing technology?

Good luck with that.

Asking people to not use or develop specific types of apps is not asking for a stop to technological progress.

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.

No, you have to understand that technology is neutral and that there aren't inherent design flaws because only the people are flawed. Just let developers develop in peace

No, nothing exists in a vacuum.

‘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.
