Use technology to protect users from walking down streets populated by people negatively impacted by socioeconomic conditions (poverty, mental health, food insecurity), or use technology to bring awareness and compassion to the most vulnerable.
Only a ridiculously privileged and sheltered person would think these things are somehow mutually exclusive. I can hear all the hardworking immigrants in rough neighborhoods rolling their eyes.
I don't understand why some people talk as if compassion entails complete vulnerability. Seems like a lot of grandstanding.
