well if you look at world history, it always has been like this -- look at all those proudly-written enslavements, crimes and massacres.

But we're starting to grow out of it, and tech is helping us track down crimes that were near-impossible to track down.

Very often tech is enabling these crimes. Monitoring and punishment of millions of people was much more difficult before.

And exposure and transparency was much more difficult before too. A tool is a tool, how it is used is the important part.

The Soviet Union had no trouble at all monitoring and punishing tens of millions of people. It also operated forced labor camps (gulags) on a vast scale.
