Yeah, we're ruining human interactions and giving people depression, self doubt, etc, with all this technology that absorbs their lives, but think of all the money we're making for the shareholders. Line goes up. /s
It’s like blaming beer companies for liver disease. Beer is brewed and sold because people like beer. This has also made shareholders lots of money. So what?
Look at cigarette companies denying for so long that their product caused cancer (or at one point claiming it was good for pregnant women). Or the sale of assault rifles and their use in mass shootings. Or a less controversial one- that suicide rates were lowered when they changed the type of gas in people’s homes.
I think as a society we can always collectively decide that regulating something might be for the public good. Sometimes we’re even correct about it.
