It's a tool, some people use the tool to do bad things. But they already did bad things before.

Virtually all of the arguments here could also be applied against the Internet itself.

That's a lazy argument. Obviously tools are tools. But if tool A revolutionized human society and has massively advanced technology (and CAN be used for harm), where tool B's positive impact is a drop in the bucket by comparison and has the potential for an outsized amount of harm, obviously tool B is comparatively a bad tool.
