Here’s a really good example of technology being used for the worst:

In one post I read, someone pointed out that the people reading these profiles should know that they’re not authentic. My point is that the technology is so good nowadays, would it occur to anyone to think twice? It’s a shame we have such a difficult time putting ourselves in other peoples shoes. We should think of information like feathers in a pillow - once it’s out in the open, you can never retrieve all of them. Free speech is a choice and all choices have consequences.
