It's not the technology itself but the evil/reckless people controlling/using it that make it so dangerous for everyone. Let me leave this here:

"The righteous need not cower before the drumbeat of human progress. Though the song of yesterday fades into the challenge of tomorrow, God still watches and judges us. Evil lurks in the datalinks as it lurked in the streets of yesteryear. But it was never the streets that were evil." - Sister Miriam (SMAC)

Technology does empower or disempower those people depending on the details it has.

We are in a moment when it seems to be doing both. So those people are working very hard for their power. It's up to us to change it to only disempower them.
