I read both those articles. Meh on both. They had some good points, I guess, nothing new, but umtimsteky that's like saying roads cause traffic accidents.
A road is just a road. The internet is like a road system.
The accidents happen because of how prople are using or interacting with the road.
Otherwise, the road just sits there, being a road. Likewise, the internet just sits there, being the internet.
