"Tech industry tries to make up for regressive politics" Hate to say it, but there may not be a technical solution to the failings of the USA.

I'd go a little further and say that tech has exacerbated the failings of the USA.

I'd be a little more accurate and say extreme neoliberalism has exacerbated the failings of the USA.

Exacerbated, or just exposed?

I'd go even further and say that tech is fundamental in the destruction of the fabric of American society.

Neoconservatism too. Let's not forget about Bush, Blair, Powell and Iraq...

Is this anything more than just fear-mongering? I don't see how this is related to the Roe reversal at all. Not a single state has given any inkling of ruling/law aimed at prosecuting the receiver of the abortion, only doctors/person who performs them.

Privacy is good and these issues should be evaluated, but to talk about them in the context of the recent Supreme Court decision is dishonest.

Everybody acts like tech companies get tremendous value from analyzing PII. Almost all of tech (perhaps excluding fb) mostly just collects pii because it's easier to do so than not, and because everybody else is. If it were banned in a clear sensible way worldwide I don't think the tech would suffer much.

Not all tech. There are specific actors and business models.
