We're not anti technology, were vocally anti destructive and anti privacy technology. AI is terrible in almost every facet. It's a neat technology on paper, but the environmental and societal impact far outweighs any positives from it. Camera glasses that record people that don't want to be recorded and saved to a cloud where that information is trained on and out of the control of anyone that's been recorded is a major privacy violation. Again, the technology of having smart glasses is neat on paper, but it reality is awful and prime for abuse.
So we don't hate all technology, just the shit technologies, like those mentioned plus flock and Microsoft products to add to the pile. Not being critical of these technologies is insane to me, because it lets these companies push the limit of what's acceptable without reprecussions.
As I said elsewhere, I can differentiate between technology and technology companies. I didn't realize that was so odd.
