Technology empowers us all, but how many people would you trust with even the power they already have? You've highlighted that problem with your own pretty harrowing ordeal. All across the board, from the means to spy, to the means to inflict pain without having to leave marks... tech is helping us all do MORE.

I can't really blame technology per se for this. It expands the amplitude of which we're capable, but the sign of the signal is still, each and all, up to us.

Blame the people for the behavior, blame the tech for increasing the efficacy of the behavior.

Not seeing the sense in blaming a hammer for the head it's used to bash in.

It's more about recognizing how a hammer makes head-bashing easier, or even possible.
