Imagine a gun manufacturer designed a gun without a safety, without sights, gave it a hair trigger, engineering it to give people a shot of dopamine whenever they fired it, and then distributed three billion of these guns for free with unlimited free ammo.

You define the word "tool" so broadly than almost any human construct would fit into the category of tool - and then make a lot of very specific pronouncements, again with no reasoning, about the consequences of Facebook being a tool.

But in fact a pointed stick and Facebook have very little in common.

You don't address any of the points made in the article at all, but continue to pump this false argument, "the toolmaker bears no responsibility for the tools they make", which I'm sure the Zyklon B designers appreciate.

And then you insult the writer several times, based on your empty reasoning.

No claps.
