Just your reminder that even if there are good uses for a technology, that doesn’t justify mass surveillance and data gathering. We should demand tech that coincides with our values, and shun tech that doesn’t.
Don’t cripwash surveillance tech.
We can imagine and create tech that doesn’t come with this many downsides - for disabled and nondisabled alike.
