@to I don't think there is something particularly nasty about "tech". Society has grown incapable of controlling and regulating the overspecialized domains on which it now exclusively relies.
I mean "tech" was explicit about the business plan: "move fast and break things".
Once they've broken them once they looked over their shoulders to see anybody has noticed and is about to push back. Alas society is busy with "other stuff" so tech will just keep breaking things until there is push back.
