More whining by people who would rather lay blame on Tech Companies rather than doing their job and coming up with a solution.
This is a complex existential question that shouldn't be so easily dismissed.
Similarly, should US-based multinational corporations make an effort to keep jobs in the US and pay their employee living wages? Wouldn't it benefit those corporations in the long term to grow the base of consumers that can afford their goods? I don't know about you, but it just seems like the right thing to do.
Tech has the ability to do something about terrorism (and bullying as well), but seems to lack the will. I guess we're all focused on using big data and machine learning to trick people into clicking more ads for viagra.
But then this can quickly snowball into pre-crime discrimination if tech does take a pro-active approach.
So as you can see, it's not really so black and white.
