(1,671 posts)4. It's not the technology, it's the criminals.
The technology is what it is. When criminals are allowed to use technology as they desire you get sophisticated crimes like this. But Zuckerberg et al are criminals. The may not commit the crimes themselves but they enable it, provide the tools to perform the criminal activities.
What's so funny is knowing that "conservatives" like to talk about "traditional values" and morality, but they're not bothered by criminal activity when it's to their benefit. That doesn't even rise to the level of hypocrite, that's accessory.
