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.
